Auto Print - URL Trigger

Auto Print URL Trigger automates the browser print dialog for any URL you specify. Simply define one or more URL patterns in the settings page, and the extension will silently watch every tab. The moment a matching URL finishes loading, the print dialog opens automatically - no clicks, no manual intervention required.

WHY USE AUTO PRINT?

Many business workflows require printing a page every time it loads - invoices from an ERP, job cards from a system, shipping labels, receipts, or work orders. Doing this manually is repetitive. Auto Print eliminates that friction entirely.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Click the Auto Print icon and open Settings.
2. Add one or more URL patterns (supports * wildcards).
3. Set a delay in milliseconds (default: 1000ms) to allow the page to fully render before the print dialog opens.
4. Enable or disable individual patterns without deleting them.
5. Save - and you're done.

Every time a tab navigates to a matching URL, the print dialog fires automatically after your configured delay.

PATTERN EXAMPLES

- https://yourerp.com/invoice/*
Matches any invoice page on your ERP

- *://yoursite.com/*/jobcard*
Matches job card URLs regardless of protocol or sub-path

- https://app.company.com/print/label
Exact URL match

KEY FEATURES

✓ Wildcard URL pattern matching
✓ Per-pattern configurable delay
✓ Enable / disable patterns individually without deleting them
✓ Duplicate-print protection — fires only once per page load
✓ Works on any website you have permission to access
✓ Clean, minimal settings interface
✓ No external dependencies or third-party scripts injected into pages

PRIVACY

Auto Print optionally collects anonymous usage analytics (device ID, extension version, URL patterns configured, and URL paths where auto-print fires - never full URLs or query strings). You are asked for consent on first install and can change your preference at any time in Settings → Analytics. No data is ever sold or shared with third parties.
