how to print base64? only print string of base64

@seepot ,
Your base64 should be like 'base64://JVB..... in cordova.plugins.printer.print('base64://JVB.....');
You can split the value from your variable like below

 cordova.plugins.printer.print("base64://"+blobvariable.split('base64,')[1]); // Replace blobvariable  string with your blob variable.

@K-sivasankar Does not work for me. The MIME type results to null, which causes the app to crash upon printing.

I had this problem for well over a year now and still trying to find a good solution. Instead of using this cordova-plugin-printer repo, see this forked project here and review the commits:

https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-printer/compare/master...jeffchee-asm:cordova-plugin-printer:master

ONLY FOR ANDROID, use pdfbase64: instead of base64: and for iOS continue using base64:

Thanks I had the same issue printing using pdfmake in angular and your solution helped with some minor changes:

 pdfMake.createPdf(pdfCreate).getBase64((base64Str) => { 
      this.printer.print("base64://"+base64Str.split('base64,'));
      // or if using straight js => cordova.plugins.printer.print("base64://"+base64Str.split('base64,'))
     });
