Moodle Tip: Print From Any Page in Moodle

EdTech

Problem:
Anyone have a suggestion about putting a link or resource in Moodle that would either connect the user to a printer or submit directly to its queue, preferably regardless of the client’s OS?

Solution:
Thanks to Greg Rodriguez (@quintosol) and Justin Reeve for offering these two possible solutions:

I’d include the code so you can copy-n-paste it but my Format Code Generator for Blogger isn’t working all that great!

The result is a simple enough button that looks like this:

Finally, my only concern with Justin’s suggestion is that embedding the code in the header in a Moodle page would cause problems when upgrading core files to the latest version of Moodle. Simply, the change would be lost. You’ll have to decide which approach—embedding it an HTML block that survive upgrades or in a header file in Moodle core install that won’t survive upgrade—is your preferred approach.

Thanks to Greg and Justin!
