Hi,
I don't think you can detect the kind of printer a person has - you
usually just have to send a job to the printer and the OS deals with this.
If you had AS3 you could use AlivePDF -

Not much help if you have AS2 though. You may be able to work
around this - generate a PDF server side and then use the File Reference
to "download" it.
You may be able to look at ways of "posting" image data to the
server - there are lots of examples - if you are generating your PDF
image in Flash. If it's text, this may be even easier - smaller uploads.

Thanks for resonding Sid.
Here's what I'm really looking for:
if(System.capabilities.hasPrinting){
// Once I get to this point, before going to the PrintJob(),
// I still want to check to see if the user has pdf writer
}
Is that possible somehow?

My god; my spelling is awfull! what i meant to say is;
System.capabilities.hasPrinting - you can check if the user has a
printer, if not you can use PDF output.
Cheers,
Sid
