Users get confused when printing book/chapter – the window shows content to be printed, but there's no "print" button.

Yes, Ctrl+P helps, but a lot of users don't know that.

I suggest adding javascript print dialog opening in the end of HTML output of print page:

diff --git a/tool/print/index.php b/tool/print/index.php

index b1949dd..d616eca 100644

--- a/tool/print/index.php

+++ b/tool/print/index.php
