android - Php session vars not showing in print/print preview. Printing from gpad 7 tablet using chrome browser -

for reason, session variables not showing when print tablet. if print same screen pc, data shows fine. local vars show fine in both scenarios.

any idea causing this?

tablet: lg gpad 7 4g/wifi browser: latest ver.of chrome android print method: printershare app on wifi website: hosted in server2003 server

session vars hold correct value , session_start(); @ top of page.

<?php session_start();  $nonlocal = $_session['hasdata']; $local = "this shows in print preview";  echo $local; echo $nonlocal; 

solution: include favicon in headers. feel moron.
