Option to Always Print with System Dialog

[imp666]

It is annoying to always have to click the link in the browser print dialog if you have to print out several pages on different printers (which works better with system dialog)

@imp666 Use the default shortcut of Ctrl+Shift+P or set your own shortcut.

Has the "Print Using System Dialogue" keyboard setting been removed?
I used to have this set to Ctrl-P, with "Print" set to Ctl-Shift-P.

This changed with one of the recent updates. I am now using V 2.2.1388.37.
"Print" is still set to Ctrl-Shift-P, but I can't find the "Print Using System Dialogue" setting.

@sneas Yes, it looks like it has gone. Not there in the latest Snapshot either.

Apologies if necroposting is against forum rules, this post comes up first when searching for this issue with few other relevant posts, and I'm not an active member.

As noted above by @Pesala, the option to change this behavior by changing keyboard shortcut settings is not present in current versions of Vivaldi on Windows - at the time of writing this, 3.5.2115.73.

I've fixed this on Windows 10 with a workaround using Chrome registry policies and now Ctrl+P (or your custom print keyboard shortcut) goes directly to the System Print Dialog.

• Create a new key named Vivaldi in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\
• Add a new REG_DWORD in the newly created key (Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Vivaldi) with the name DisablePrintPreview and a value of 1 (for true)
• To confirm that the policy has been set navigate to vivaldi://policy. You may need to click Reload Policies even after restarting your browser.
• If it's been set correctly DisablePrintPreview will show up with the set value, and using the Ctrl+P shortcut will go directly to the Windows System print dialog

The DisablePrintPreview policy is described on the Chrome Enterprise Policy List. As far as I know Vivaldi does not officially support Chrome policies so tread lightly and pay attention to updates.
