FLASH: Flash Player Printing

[Jeff Talbot]

Hi to all, and a happy new year! 


Has anyone on the list had much experience with the new print features

in the flash plug-in? 


My initial excitement at what seemed like another brilliant idea from

MACR soon dampened as I tried to print two examples from their site

(Macromedia's and HP's banner ads ). Working online they seemed to crash

the system (Win '98/IE 4.7.2/Flash Plug-in 4.0.25), but in hind-sight

they may just have been running reeeeeally slooooowly. Downloading the

SDK and printing locally (HP Laserjet 8000 PS) from the example did work

- but at about 10 mins. per page!!! 


Is this normal? If so, it's a great idea but totally impractical - can

we expect an improvement soon?
