Printing

Adobe Flash Player 9 can communicate with an operating system's printing interface so that you can pass pages to the print spooler. Each page Flash Player sends to the spooler can contain content that is visible, dynamic, or offscreen to the user, including database values and dynamic text. Additionally, Flash Player sets the properties of the flash.printing.PrintJob class based on a user's printer settings, so that you can format pages appropriately.

This chapter details strategies for using the flash.printing.PrintJob class methods and properties to create a print job, read a user's print settings, and make adjustments to a print job based on feedback from Flash Player and the user's operating system.
