I am using the stock print widget in Web AppBuilder.  If I use custom basemaps with Https aerial rest services from New York State GIS, or if I have an ESRI Vector basemap turned on in the map, the print widget throws an error, or it replaces current basemap with the default esri streets basemap.  It seems the print widget will only work if I have one of the ESRI stock basemaps selected.

Any workaround for this?

Hi Dan,

> Does anyone know when we will be able to print Vector Basemaps?

We are actively working on this functionality and I expect this should be available by UC timeframe with the ArcGIS API for JavaScript. Not sure if it will make it into Web AppBuilder by then, but it would follow soon after.

Hope this helps,

Dan,

   No there is no workaround this is a known limitation by esri when it comes to vector basemaps and printing.

Thank you Robert, I suspected as much.  Taking away the Vector basemaps, i still get errors trying to print when I am using custom basemaps with new york state ortho rest services.  any thoughts?  https://gis.ny.gov/gateway/mg/webserv/webserv.html

New York State offers Http and Https rest services.  They are depreciating http, so i setup my WAB with custom basemaps from different year aerial flights using https rest services.  I was getting errors when trying to print.  I just switched them back to Http and now it prints fine.  

Is there some sort of issue related to https and the print widget?

Dan,

   Yes there are known issues with https and printing as well.

i just removed the "www." from the New York State Https rest aerial service url, and now it appears to print just fine with the print widget.

Now that ESRI Vector Basemaps are out of Beta and fully supported with the December 2016 update, I was hoping the print widget in WAB would start printing maps correctly, but it still doesn't work.  Does anyone know when we will be able to print Vector Basemaps?

After the latest AGOL update, I checked, and vector basemaps now appear to work with the print widget in web appbuilder (non-developer version).  Is this function fully supported now?  I would love to start using more of the vector basemaps in some of our apps.

thanks

Dan
