<p>Thanks to FireFox's buggy implementation of ActiveX components (it really should take an image of them when printing) Flex components (in our case charts) don't print in FX.</p>

<p>They print fine in IE7, even IE6.</p>

<p>We need these charts to print, but they also have dynamic content.  I don't really want to draw them again as images when the user prints - the Flex component should do it.</p>

<p>We've found a <a href="http://www.anychart.com/blog/2007/09/23/solving-problem-with-printing-flash-content-in-firefox-browser/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">potential workaround</a>, but unfortunately it doesn't work in FireFox3 (in FireFox2 it sort-of works, but not well enough).</p>

<p>Anyone know a workaround?</p>

Using the ACPrintManager I was able to get firefox 3 to print perfectly!
The one thing I had to add to the example was to check if stage was null, and callLater if the stage was null.
```
```
private function initPrint():void {
    //if we don't have a stage, wait until the next frame and try again
    if ( stage ==  null ) {
        callLater(initPrint);
        return;
    }

    PrintManager.init(stage);

    var data:BitmapData = new BitmapData(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
    data.draw(myDataGrid);

    PrintManager.setPrintableContent(data);
}
```
```
