If I try and print a dynamicaly instantiated GUI component, the job silently 
fails.
If I create the same component in line in the page, the job works well.

Please can someone confirm this and/or an Adobe person take a look ?

In the below example (of it not working) change 
printJob.addObject(formPrintView, FlexPrintJobScaleType.MATCH_WIDTH);
to
printJob.addObject(thePrintView, FlexPrintJobScaleType.MATCH_WIDTH);
to get the working behaviour.
