How could we create a printable custom documentation?

Hi we have a custom toolbox that we deliver together with our custom documentation - and this works fine. The users find our documentation as part of the Matlab help and use it very often. If a user tries to print a documentation side this works only for the build in documentation. For the build in documentation the help site gets opened in the browser (for example the reference to C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2015a\help\matlab\ref\webread.html) for our documentation are always the file C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2015a\help\templates\3pdoc.html loaded and this shows only a white/blank site that contains only a search input and on the left side the empty contents menu. The documentation link in this contents menu gets to a broken link same as the search.

What has to be changed that printing the help works?

Please give us a step-by-step explanation of how the user is accessing this documentaion. I just tried this on MATLAB 2012b, and it printed without error:

• create short Mfile with two cells and some text (attached).
• publish.
• right click on the Mfile, click hyperlink "showdemo".
• click printer icon, print.

Hi yes this works fine. If I publish the file directly and open print the browser opens the correct file. I published you file to a folder html. I create a helptoc.xml for my small user documentation and the info.xml.

Finally I used builddocsearchdb(htmlfolder) to create the database for the documentation. Now I can see the new documentation as part of the matlab help - but the printing doesn't work anymore. (I attached as both files as .txt as xml is not supported.)
