The modal dialog does not belong to Flash, it belongs to Windows, and
specifically it belongs to the browser window that contains the Flash movie.

This being said, I have a Flash app that uses PrintJob and I just tested
keeping my PrintJob dialog open for a full 3 minutes and I did not get an
alert that Flash was hung.

So, it looks like you have some other issue with your movie and PrintJob
isn't to blame.
