Hello everybody! (I just joined the list.
:-) I was recently working on a
Flash/ActionScript (not yet Flex) project which also required printing. While
Flash has no printing capability, the solution was to send the print parameters
via remoting to the server running PHP, then to create a PDF utilizing PDFLIB (http://www.pdflib.com)
based on the parameters sent by the Flash applet. Once PDF is complete, the Flash
(or Flex) is then informed of the filename for the PDF document and/or the document
is opened automatically in a new browser window (from where it can be printed
at full resolution). Sort of an intermediary solution until
higher DPI printing becomes a possiblity from within Flex. Whether this
solution can be used depends on whether the material to be printed *can* be
recreated on the server. Intro on PDFLIB & PHP here ->

[email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jack W. Caldwell Is this Flash in a native mode or a Flex
app running in Flash Player 9? If you are telling me that a Flex 2 app
running in Flash Player 9 can not print to a typically configured laser
printer, then we have problems. What printers out there . . . print
at 300 DPI? No user is going to want to "drop
down" to 300 DPI and most won't even know how to do it. Somebody tell me we are missing something? Thanks, Jack From:

is not capable -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com
