I can't get the results of using a color matrix filter to show up when
printing. I have enabled printAsBitmap and still no luck. Any solutions?
This is a shame, since this method is much more precise than putting a
tint in the timeline and running my image through it.

Ex: below is a tint for a sepia filter, but it gets ignored when printing. :-(

matrix = matrix.concat([0.35, 0.35, 0.35, 0, 0]);
// red
matrix = matrix.concat([0.3, 0.3, 0.3, 0, 0]);
// green
matrix = matrix.concat([0.21, 0.21, 0.21, 0, 0]);
// blue
matrix = matrix.concat([0, 0, 0, 1, 0]);
// alpha
var filter:BitmapFilter = new ColorMatrixFilter(matrix);

I have written a tutorial on the Color Matrix Filter and found that the tints print correctly as tints. Have a look on the webwasp flash tutorial site:
