How to print Local Pdf, doc file from Gallery #183

I'm new to here didn't know how to print pdf and doc files from a mobile gallery or local Uri

Based on the existing documentation, you should be able to print like this:

RNPrint.print({ printerURL: [url of your printer], //omit if you want to present the print options view filePath:${TemporaryDirectoryPath}${contentId}.pdf//replace with the path to where your doc is stored. }).then(res => console.info(res)).catch(err => console.error(err))

However, it's not working for me since upgrading to iOS 16. The method returns success, the printer stirs but never prints. However, if i replace the PDF with a .txt file in the same directory, it prints fine. I've tried numerous times and methods with no luck. Same result when I remove the printerURL and present the print options view it.

I am also seeing the issue from a native Swift app, so I'm certain it's something to do with Apple. @muhammad-ahsan099 let me know if this works for you, please.

Any one have any workarounds for this issue?
