I looked a bit at the issue, and what we need is:

  • Get a picture/bitmap/screenshot of what is currently being displayed in the plugin.
  • A way to convert the obtained image to postscript


The idea is that the postscript data is written to a given filedescriptor, though only on *nix, windows and MAC works differently (how exactly is unknown/ignored for now).

This is a missing feature in the plugin, for details I think this could be helpful: http://web.archive.org/web/20031007205624/devedge.netscape.com/library/manuals/2002/plugin/1.0/drawevent.html#999691

When I print a page from Firefox (via CUPS) of a web page containing some Flash elements, the areas being rendered by Gnash come out blank, as white space. The rest of the page (non-Flash areas) prints fine.

I'm using the 0.7.2 package with the opengl renderer from Debian unstable, on 64 Studio 1.0 distro, AMD64 dual processor machine,
