@CodingCreate101 your solution worked for me thanks.

This is a great solution but it breaks the Dom. nothing works after. is there a way to make it open a new tab to do this ?

Here's a proper, modern solution:

export function printElement(element: HTMLElement) {
    const body = document.body
  
    // Store current children of the body in an array
    const originalChildren: Node[] = [...body.children]
  
    // Clone the element to be printed
    const elementClone = element.cloneNode(true) as HTMLElement
  
    // Remove all current children from the body
    while (body.firstChild) {
        body.firstChild.remove()
    }
  
    // Add the cloned element to be printed
    body.append(elementClone)
  
    // Call window.print and revert the state back after printing
    window.print()
  
    // Revert the state back
    while (body.firstChild) {
        (body.firstChild as HTMLElement).remove()
    }
  
    for (const child of originalChildren) body.append(child)
}

By keeping a reference to the nodes that have been temporarily removed from the DOM, they can be added back without an issue: All listeners and references to these nodes are still valid.

@Vanilagy not sure how you got this one to work but i get an error Type 'HTMLCollection' must have a '[Symbol.iterator]()' method that returns an iterator at [...body.children] and when i run the function i get element.cloneNode is not a function in the inspector console

Printer URL --- https://www.tvs-e.in/label-printers/lp-46-lite/-;.- What should be done to get the desired alignment would be a great help. Thank you in advanced

Use NPM react-to-print
It will print your desired format, any tag you like with your custom alignments.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-to-print
If you want example code it can provide you with that

@azeenGAN Thank you so much. I still can't get the desired alignment, is there any other options to do?

I set @page size 2in,3in but is only work chrome not other? If any idea?
