Hi,
I am doing some work with the PrintJob to print a movieclip.

Am I missing something out here??

Glen, just a wild guess, but maybe switching to printAsBitmap will help.
This may be unavoidable if the cached bitmap is used for the filter but not
for the printing. If so, you'll just need to create a BitmapData object of
everything you want to print.

Hi David,
I'd try to use PrintJob.pageWidth and/or PrintJob.pageHeight instead of
.orientation .
Also, why not determine needed scale at runtime:
postcardClip._xscale = 100 * myPrintJob.pageWidth/postcardClip._width;
postcardClip._yscale = postcardClip._xscale;
