Provide Print functionality in ASP.NET MVC 4

Question

I have a view with HTML tables, filled with information that I want to print in ASP.NET MVC 4 and C#.

I don't know the actual code that prints the document, any help will be appreciated

Print manually in the browser or create for example a PDF and send it to a printer? — Alex

Well you have two choices

Either use JS

<a href="javascript:window.print()">Click to Print This Page</a>
Or print to a PDF using Action Result in MVC

For the JS option you will want to build a print css file so as to best render the page during printing, also hide some element that you don't need to appear - menus for example.

For some reason the editor window didn't want to format the code properly... Feel free to edit it, may be a chrome issue?

If you check that print css link and look at the Remove unwanted items section, essentially you have a .noprint {display: none;} class and put that on all the items you don't want to show. Then put .noprint only in your print stylesheet.
