Hello Guys,  
i found script bellow in an old topic :  
\*obj = system.gui.getParentWindow(event) .parent \*  
\*printJob = system.print.createPrintJob(obj) \*  
\*printJob.showPrintDialog = 0 \*  
\*printJob.orientation = system.print.LANDSCAPE \*  
_printJob.print()_

this work but result is not full screen, it is adding some grey empty space on sides.  
what parameter should i change ?  
i had to blur screen to not show private datas of my client :

You're getting the component _above_ the window itself. Try removing the `.parent` here. Or even going _down_ into the root container, instead of up into the parent.

it is 2 windows, 1 docked window on the top part and another 1 lower part.  
so if i remove .parent it prints only the top part.  
i manage to play with margin to print it properly, but still there is this grey area not so nice to see.
