I'm not sure what happens underneath the printing API, but sure would be nice if they improved the API to let us set vector/raster on a component by component basis...this would really work well for me instead of having to set it for the entire object added to the print job. Is it worth writing up a bug with this sort of suggestion?
BTW, we have used ImageSnapshot as well. It allows us to create prints of effects, like drop shadows, etc. which don't show up at all otherwise...but it seems to have the same results as printAsBitmap=true, text looks much worse than vector printed text.
