[Laszlo-dev] adding printing to LZX -- need help

[Max Carlson]

Also note that Flash won't print rotated device fonts.  I discovered 
this after much trial and error and frustration - only after decompiling 
a swf with print() and discovering the getURL("print:#bframe"...) 
oddness...  You may want to warn or at least list the deficiency in the 
docs - I hope this saves you a little time - both things bit me when I 
was printing recently...

You might also add an option to print what's on the screen with default 
scaling with LzBrowser.loadURL/getURL('print:', '').
