_root.test is the textfield, _root.line_length is the lines fitting on one
page.
good luck!

my solution is scrolling the text and printing as you go, here's the
function.
(beware though, it's been ages since writing this, it works tho)
function buildPrinter() {
_root.print.onPress = function() {
var p_length = Math.round(Math.floor
(parseInt(_root.test.maxscroll)/_root.line_length));
_root.pj = new PrintJob();
if (_root.pj.start()) {
//_root.printer.pj=pj;
for (var i = 0; i<=p_length; i++) {
_root.test.scroll = i*_root.line_length;
_root.pj.addPage(_root.test);
}
var empty =
((p_length+1)*_root.line_length)-_root.test.maxscroll;
for (var i = 0; i<empty; i++) {
_root.test.text = _root.test.text+"\n";
}
_root.test.scroll = _root.test.maxscroll;
_root.pj.addPage(_root.test);
_root.pj.send();
}
delete _root.pj;
};
