Flex could also add features for making the native flash printing system easier to use. Some of the functionality I can think of:
- Handle scaling based on DPI and page setup options (page size, orientation etc.). - Handle multi-page printing. - Make Flex components printable, e.g. with skins for printing like CSS for different media. For example a DataGrid could have a skin for printing where it does not include scrollbars. Some components could also require more than just a special skin for printing.
