Don't think there's an AIR only solution at this point. Certainly worth
pinging Adobe to see if that can be included in the next version.

Eh - I need it to be downloadable, easily deployable. If I have to
put CF on there just to get printing to work the way I want it, I'd
write the whole thing in CF...

Could use CF's cfprint tag that the AIR app pings, I'm assuming you can load
a server on the kiosk.

Looking for ideas here...
I have a touchscreen kiosk application that requires printing by
sometimes very inexperienced users. The problem is that AIR's
PrintJob.start() requires the user to confirm "Print" on an OS level
print dialog each time it prints. A few of reasons this is a problem
in my case. Apologies if I am over explaining a bit here, but I
wanted to be clear *why* I am looking for this.
1) The extra step slows down what needs to be a very streamlined and
quick process.
2) The OS level print screen does not match the look and feel of
the rest of the (full screen) application.
3) The buttons on the print dialog is smaller then I'd like for the UI
to be effective. Giuant buttons are great on a touch screen kiosk
based application.
4) Occasionally the print confirmation gets behind the AIR
application, confusing the user and making it impossible to interact
with the AIR application. ALT+TAB brings the dialog screen back, but
that's not something I expect users to know or even learn.
I've investigated a few ways to automatically confirm the print
dialog, but these all require third party tools and I would very much
prefer to find something that can "just work" within AIR. I don't
want to create a buncha dependencies for this app. That serves to
undermine the advantage of an easily deployable AIR application.
Anyone have ideas?
