Re: [flexcoders] FlexPrintJob problem: application background colors showing in margins
Since there doesn't appear to be any follow-up to this topic, I'll provide
an example. I recently started working with printing (using 2.0.1) and
noticed this problem of the background colour bleeding through into the
margin of the printed output. This might be printer/driver specific,
though. It happens on my HP Photosmart 2575 printer, but doesn't happen
when I print to a PDF using CutePDF Writer. A quick example follows below.
It would be good to know if this happens with other people's printers, and
hopefully someone has a workaround.

Are you by any chance mentioning the corners that show the bg color,
specially when the component has rounded corners?

can't actually print my component in those areas (it gets cropped at the
margins) but the background color shows anyway. Any thoughts?

Re: [flexcoders] FlexPrintJob problem: application background colors showing in margins
Hi, I'm having a similar problem. The effect that i'm getting is that it prints a line depending on the fit done when the component is rendered. As i'm using FlexPrintJobScaleType.SHOW_ALL, some reports are scaled with MATCH_HEIGHT and others with MATCH_WIDTH. When the print job is scaled to fit the width, a vertical line is printed at the right of the paper, and when the job is scaled to height the line is printed horizontally at the bottom of the page. I assume that this line is the background as it haves the same width or height than the printed component. Any clue? thanks for the info Luciano On 11/5/06, Tom Bray [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The background color of my application is printing in the margins of the page when I print my component in landscape mode.
