Print is not working in IE after Microsoft's security update

[akpratap]

Using PrintArea 2.4.0 version, we are unable to print web pages using Internet Explorer browser. We keep getting a blank page with ‘File not found’ message. This problem started after we installed security update released by Microsoft for Internet Explorer browser.

There was a security update for IE released by Microsoft on June 13, 2017 which mentions web page printing as a known issue in this security update.

Is this a known issue with PrintArea? Can you please let us know how this issue can be resolved?

Thanks,

It is possible to respond by switching to popup mode.

Https://github.com/RitsC/PrintArea#popup-mode

https://github.com/RitsC/PrintArea/blob/master/js/jquery.printarea.js#L17

Example:

var options = { mode : "popup", popClose : true };
$("#printarea").printArea(options);
