If you’re a majority Chrome browser user in Mac OS X you’ve probably noticed that when printing from the web browser, a custom print preview window opens up that looks quite different from the default print window on a Mac. Some users may like the alternate Chrome print preview option with it’s larger viewport and different options, but if you prefer the general default MacOS X print dialog window, you can use a defaults command string to modify the behavior of Chrome to use the broader Mac system default printer window instead.Making this change is only going to impact the print preview window when summoned directly from the Chrome web browser, changing it from the Chrome version to the same version seen elsewhere on the Mac when printing anything, this defaults string has no effect on anything else in Mac OS X.Make Chrome Use Default Print Window on MacQuit out of Chrome app if it’s currently open in Mac OS XLaunch Terminal (found in /Applications/Utilities/) and use the following defaults write command string:defaults write com.google.Chrome DisablePrintPreview -bool trueExit out of Terminal and then relaunch Google ChromeHit Command+P or go to the Print menu item to see the default printer option from OS X now in use with the Chrome browser appOutside of keeping things consistent, one of the perks of using the general OS X print dialog window is a return of the easy printing to a PDF file option right in the print window, though that should work fine without this if you enabled a keyboard shortcut for that purpose.
