Hi, I'm on Vista - but I believe there can be a problem on the macs if you don't set your control.width = pj.width and control.height = pj.height when sending to the printJob that will churn out an extra page. Printing in Landscape withour user intervention can be difficult to scale.
I have a sample AIR Application on my Blog that demonstrates printing in Flex & AIR http://thorntononflex.blogspot.com/ <http://thorntononflex.blogspot.com/> Hope this helps --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm surprised you aren't getting an error or warning in the console. I think the use of callLater doesn't work during a printjob and the job might eventually timeout (see Flash Player's printing classes for timeout limits). Usually, all external data needs to be pre-loaded and the whole print page needs to have some validateNow call and send() right in the loop. You can't put things off. It is actually a bug in FP that you can't defer work. I'm hoping they'll fix it someday, but it didn't make FP10. > > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of donvoltz > Sent: Saturday, August 30, 2008 8:36 AM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [flexcoders] Printing Problems > > > Would anyone be able to tell me why the following code creates a blank > page.
