## What it is
A React library that lets you print the content of React components directly from the browser via a hook-based API. It handles building the print window, copying styles and fonts, and provides lifecycle callbacks around the print dialog.

## Use cases
- print a React component from the browser
- add a print button to a React page
- generate printable invoices or reports from React UI
- print dynamic content with custom fonts
- control document title when saving print output as PDF

## When to choose
- you need to print specific React component content without leaving the browser
- you want a simple hook API with style/font handling and print lifecycle callbacks
- you need CSP nonce support or shadow DOM content in printed output

## When to avoid
- you need server-side PDF generation rather than browser printing
- your project is not React-based
- you need pixel-perfect print layouts beyond what CSS print styles offer

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, developer-tools
- domain: frontend, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: browser, cross-platform
