Hello,  
I would like to figure out how to make a print screen button work for a alarm history page. I saw the post about exporting it to CSV. but I would like just to have the displayed screen.  
Thanks in advance.

Here is a simple “print screen”

obj = system.gui.getParentWindow(event).parent  
job = system.print.createPrintJob(obj)  
job.setMargins(0.5)  
job.showPageFormat = 0  
job.fitToPage = 1  
job.orientation = system.print.LANDSCAPE  
job.showPrintDialog = 0  
job.print()

Add this to the ‘actionPerformed’ scripting on the component and it will print a screenshot to the default printer.
