Allowing direct output to print dialog when trying to print from Flutter PWA

[kcin9]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently Printing.layoutPdf only send the pdf to the browse and let it decide in what way to handle it. In my case, using iOS device, resulted in a new tab with the pdf BLOB. Redundant of procedures are required to complete the printing action. (i.e. click "Share" -> "Print" -> "Print")

Describe the solution you'd like By utilizing Javascript .print(), we can send the iframe content directly to the print dialog. Perhaps we can consider to provide an interface for such behaviour for the dart pdf file case as well?

I have the same issue. When creating a PDF on Flutter Web with an iOS Device, the default option for sharing is "blob:myurl" - so when using this via WhatsApp etc it will not work - the user has to select the Share-Options in the Dialog and have to switch from "auto" to "pdf".

Is there a way to make pdf default and ignore the blob? For now it's intuitiv and my users are not able to work with this. Thanks!
