Hi Mike,
Thanks for your input, I also am tring to print a certificate.
Like I posted earlier, I need to print the page landscape.
I've been working on it for hours......
I've done the following:
// The function to print the output.
public function doPrint():void {
var pj:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob();
if (pj.start() != true )
{
return;
}
var myPrintview:FormPrintView = new
FormPrintView();
myPrintview.width=1100;
myPrintview.height=900;
myPrintview.rotation=90;
this.addChild(myPrintview);
pj.addObject(myPrintview,
FlexPrintJobScaleType.FILL_PAGE);
pj.send();
Where FormPrintView is a Vbox component.
The rotation just doesn't seem to work right. It seems that the
width, height and origin seem to get confused along the way, so the
Scaling gets confused.
I even tried to design the page rotated, but when you rotate a label,
you can't see it anymore :-(
So I am going to resort to Telling the user to select Landscape in
thier printer preferences and check that they have done it.

someone prints is to tell them to set their printer to landscape.
Once the print job is processed I check the orientation and if it was
not set to landscape I alert them that their printer was not in
landscape mode and for full page printing they need to set their
orientation to landscape.
