Print ANYTHING in StoryLine
By adding a new tab in the player properties panel and assigning it to execute the "window.print();" JavaScript, you can allow your participants to print any/every slide in your StoryLine projects including "Notes" or "Certificate" slides! No need to create a complex JavaScript course certificate solution, simply build a beautiful slide and let your users print it directly from the StoryLine player!
For SL 3 and 360 users, you can also move, reformat, hide, and reveal the button so you can take control over what users can print.
I've included the screen shots I used in the video in the attached Word document along with the JavaScript code snippets and an SL3 .story file.

Is there a problem showing the variables on one slide or is the issue the slide does not print?
both - too much text for one slide - and I can't get it to print either!!
Yay it's working!!! - question for Owen - I also have a Exit button up there on the player - trouble is chrome dev tools call it tab-customlink as well - no numbering or anything - any work around for this?? or do I have no option but to remove my exit tab??
You will need to do a little extra step if you have multiple custom buttons to give them each their own unique ID. This video will walk you through the steps.
Can someone give Owen a medal or something?? And why isn't he an elearning hero already?? - he has saved my bacon a few times now!! THANKS SO MUCH! you sir are a gentleman and a scholar.... :)
I'm with Donna...Give that man a medal! He's done the community a HUGE favor!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
Owen, this is terrific!
Owen, I can't get the print function to work in the Articulate player on my iPad. Is there something else that needs to be done to get it to work there? THANKS!
JavaScript triggers are supported in HTML5 and Flash published output. However, JavaScript isn't supported in the Articulate Mobile Player app. (For a full comparison of the different players, see this article.)
Thanks so much Owen! More to learn :)! But I did discover that if I publish without the mobile player option that the file runs just fine in the browser and the print function works great :).
Owen, I'm attempting this but coming up with a blank page when testing in Chrome. Do you know what I could be missing here?
Hard to say without seeing your file. What version of SL are you using? Which page is blank? Print preview? The whole browser/SL Player?
I'm using SL2. The print preview is blank. I'll u/l the storyline file here.
