  <script>   scriptHuraTipsPreventPrinting = function($){     $('body').append('<style type="text/css" media="print">body{visibility:hidden;display:none}</style>');     $(document).on('keydown', function(e) {       if(e.ctrlKey && (e.key == "p" || e.charCode == 16 || e.charCode == 112 || e.keyCode == 80) ){         alert("Sorry, you are not authorized to take a Print");         e.cancelBubble = true;         e.preventDefault();         e.stopImmediatePropagation();       }     });   };   var jqHuraTipsScript = document.createElement('script');   jqHuraTipsScript.setAttribute("src", "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.0/jquery.min.js");   jqHuraTipsScript.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript");   if (jqHuraTipsScript.readyState) {     jqHuraTipsScript.onreadystatechange = function () {       if (this.readyState == 'loaded' || this.readyState == 'complete') {         scriptHuraTipsPreventPrinting(jQuery.noConflict(true));       }     };   } else {     jqHuraTipsScript.onload = function () {       scriptHuraTipsPreventPrinting(jQuery.noConflict(true));     };   }   var d = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0] || document.documentElement;   d.appendChild(jqHuraTipsScript); </script>

• Click Save and you are done.

As soon as you install the script provided above, the visitors will can’t open the print option by shortcut key (Ctrl+P). If they still try the open print option from the properties menu and try print, they only get a blank page.

I hope it’s helpful to you.

Happy coding.
