Came across this - been trying to figure out a similar thing myself, tried out @themakerman 's solution, but on iOS the data is printed differently (i had an image that prints on one page in Android, but 2 pages on iOS)

@esamelson - When creating a file using printToFileAsync(...), how does the user of a device get access to that file, and what is the recommended way of coding around that?

Many thanks in advance!
