I have a print page that opens in a new tab or window. The resulting page opens a print dialog. After the user makes a selection on the print dialog, the page then closes the tab/window.
window.print();
window.close();
This used to work great in the major browsers, but one of the latest versions of Chrome breaks this (i.e. 14.0.835.202).
I receive the following message from what I guess is the chrome print plugin: "Print preview failed".
Does anyone have a solution to close the Chrome tab/window after printing?

I just managed to come up with a solution that fits me. I started out with the reply from Peru but didn't want to use jQuery in this solution.
For some reason Chrome dont start the timeout timer until the print dialog is closed.
