Add Printjs to infolist action

Hi, in my app i have an infolist with a button 'print'

 
#PRINT INVOICE
                            Action::make(__('repair.print'))
                            ->action(fn ($data, Repair $record) => redirect()->to(
                                route('repair.pdf.'.$data['type'], $record)
                            ))
                         
                            ->icon('heroicon-s-printer')
                            ->form([
                                Forms\Components\Radio::make('type')
                                    ->label('')
                                    ->default('receipt')
                                    ->options(PrintOptions::class)
                                    ->disableOptionWhen(function (string $value, Model $record) {
                                        return $value === 'aggregate' && $record->parts === null || $value === 'regular' && $record->parts === null;
                                    })
                            ])

 
#PRINT INVOICE
                            Action::make(__('repair.print'))
                            ->action(fn ($data, Repair $record) => redirect()->to(
                                route('repair.pdf.'.$data['type'], $record)
                            ))
                         
                            ->icon('heroicon-s-printer')
                            ->form([
                                Forms\Components\Radio::make('type')
                                    ->label('')
                                    ->default('receipt')
                                    ->options(PrintOptions::class)
                                    ->disableOptionWhen(function (string $value, Model $record) {
                                        return $value === 'aggregate' && $record->parts === null || $value === 'regular' && $record->parts === null;
                                    })
                            ])

this is the route Route::get('/label/{record}/download', [PdfController::class, 'downloadLabel'])->name('repair.pdf.label'); that calls the controller

public function downloadLabel($record)
    {
        $repair = Repair::find($record);
        $companyData = app(CompanySettings::class);
        $width = $this->mmToPoints(54);
        $height = $this->mmToPoints(25);
        $customPaper = [0, 0, $width, $height];
        $pdf = PDF::loadView('pdf.label', compact('repair', 'companyData'))
                  ->setPaper($customPaper)
                  ->setWarnings(false);

        return $pdf->stream('label.pdf');
    }

public function downloadLabel($record)
    {
        $repair = Repair::find($record);
        $companyData = app(CompanySettings::class);
        $width = $this->mmToPoints(54);
        $height = $this->mmToPoints(25);
        $customPaper = [0, 0, $width, $height];
        $pdf = PDF::loadView('pdf.label', compact('repair', 'companyData'))
                  ->setPaper($customPaper)
                  ->setWarnings(false);

        return $pdf->stream('label.pdf');
    }

how can i modify the action to call printjs instead of open the pdf?

Adding wire:click with the JS code to the extraAttributes might do it.

I've already spent 3 hours on this. Is what I'm trying to do feasible, or am I wasting my time?

So you’re using a livewire click handler with a js query selector,? There’s no way that’s ever going to work.

any chance to use printjs? my app is working, but in the infolist when i print a label/invoice etc the pdf is opened in the same tab, after printing the pdf i have to hit the browser's back button to comback to the app.. not so friendly

You probably need to run it through alpine, then use $wire to stream it back to the browser. Alpine will have access to the query selector. If that makes sense. But you’re getting a null either way on the query selector which means it can’t find the html element. But I think that’s because of the livewire click handler. Actions also have an ->alpineClickHandler() that will disable the livewire click handler. Maybe start there.
