This Google Tag Manager auto-event listener was posted by Bountous → who based their script on Eivind Savio’s script → who based his script on TJ VanToll’s script.
What does it do? Tracks when a visitor of your website uses the browser’s Print function.
Well, it only tracks if the print dialog was initiated but not if the user actually prints the page. If the user cancels out of the print dialog, it will still get tracked as a print.
Things to keep in mind
- The Google Tag Manager Recipe requires that you have jQuery on your site.
- It works regardless of how the user prints (clicking a print button on your site, right-clicking and selecting the print option, using the keyboard shortcuts of Ctrl+P (Windows) or CMD+P (Mac), or using the browser options menu).
INSTRUCTIONS

Download the container JSON file (right-click on the link and click “Save Link As” or “Save Target As” to save the JSON file to your computer). - Import JSON File into GTM
Log into your own Google Tag Manager container and head to the Admin section of the site. Under Container options, select Import Container. Read this blog post for more details about importing a container file. - Insert your own GA4 measurement ID
