Printing Enhancements
Printing in SpreadJS has been enhanced with a new event, print preview lines, printing info for the page, and background watermark images. With the new BeforePrint event, printing can be cancelled after it is initiated. With print preview lines, dotted lines are drawn in the workbook to show where pages end when printed out.
The print info now includes API to show the printing range of cells for each page, and the background watermark image can now be added when printing a page.
