The Flex mx.printing package contains classes that facilitate the creation of printing output from Flex applications:

FlexPrintJob A class that prints one or more objects. Automatically splits large objects for printing on multiple pages and scales the output to fit the page size.

PrintDataGrid A subclass of the DataGrid control with a default appearance that is customized for printing. The class includes properties and a method that provide additional sizing and printing features.

PrintAdvancedDataGrid A subclass of the AdvancedDataGrid control with a default appearance that is customized for printing. The class includes properties and a method that provide additional sizing and printing features.

PrintOLAPDataGrid A subclass of the OLAPDataGrid control with a default appearance that is customized for printing. The class includes properties and a method that provide additional sizing and printing features.

FlexPrintJobScaleType Defines constants used in the FlexPrintJob addObject() method.

Together, these classes give you control over how the user prints information from the application. For example, your application can print only a selected subset of the information on the screen, or it can print information that is not being displayed. Also, your application can reformat the information and optimize its layout and appearance for printing.

Users can print to PostScript and non-PostScript printers, including the Adobe® PDF® and Adobe® FlashPaper™ from Adobe® printer drivers.
