Just add your Panel and HBox to another container, and send this other
container to the print job.
Here's the pseudo code:
var newContainer:VBox = new Vbox();
newContainer.add( hbMainTitle );
newContainer.add( dspChildWithFocus);
printJob.addObject (newContainer);
Viola.
Well, you might have to experiment with this. newContainer may have
to be added to a container...but I don't know off the top of my head.
But you can see the solution.
