IE work correctly. This bug appear long time ago,begin at ppapi v24.

Printing support in Chrome (via PPAPI) is very limited.  The PPAPI specification is frozen, and Google's agenda is to deprecate Flash support in the browser.  You're welcome to file a bug, but it's a browser limitation, and unlikely to get fixed.

My recommendation, given that it's 2019 and we're rapidly approaching the end of the Flash lifecycle, would be to render your output in HTML and JavaScript and print from there.  You could use ExternalInterface to invoke that activity from Flash, and JavaScript libraries targeting HTML5 Canvas for rendering complex graphics, barcodes, etc, or maybe assemble a ByteArray of what you want to print and push that over to JavaScript for rendering as an image.

I don't agree with you because the line can be printed.

I suggest you test again. I think it's FLASH's BUG itself, not chrome's limitation.

You have less than one year to find a complete alternative to Flash, so why are you worrying about this detail?

@jeromiec83223024 is the Adobe Flash expert, so what he's saying is the closest reason of your issue.

@Test Screen Name

I think your answer is not relevant...

what platform can instead RIA? SLIVERLIGHT?

[anyicw]

You mean FLASH will stop updating by 2020?

[anyicw]

I use ppapi v11.6 instead of v32.0.0.142 to test,Text can be printed.

360浏览器旧版下载_360浏览器历史版本列表_天极下载

360浏览器 7.1.1.550

I use this explorer to tested.

[anyicw]

I want to ask you,why line can be printed?

Can you give me a satisfactory answer?

Please help me,please!

[Robert Mc Dowell]

The right answer was Jeromie's comment.

as Flash PPAPI is a chrome builtin API so you should contact Chrome google developers about your issue.

You're welcome. Silverlight ceased development in 2013.  I believe that to have the smallest chance of this all happening again, HTML5 is the way to go, even if it limits inventiveness.

[Robert Mc Dowell]

HTML5 never been a substitute of Flash, it's HTML5 + JAVASCRIPT

[anyicw]

You fools, if you use FLASH to develop a set of ERP, you will earn more than SAP.

[anyicw]

HTML5 can developing RIA management system, such as ERP System?You have a dream!!!!!

HTML5 can print account book to printer directly? No,it is Impossible!

Even if you stop developing, our system will use FLASH until the WINDOWST system does not exist.

Flash will go away by 2020. Some browser makers have an earlier target. Adobe have no say in this now, the browser makers are blocking it one by one. Already they are making it difficult. Still think there is a fortune to be made?

[Robert Mc Dowell]

Life is made of miracles, why not on computers?

[anyicw]

FLASH stopped updating in 2020. Will the download server be turned off?

[Test Screen Name]

Miracles can happen. When they do I plan to seize them. But a plan to rely on them might prove hard to justify to stockholders.

Whether the download server is turned off is an interesting question. But would you keep running an old version if security problems are no longer fixed? Every hacker in the world will see you and your customers as an easy target.

But it is almost unimportant (for the developer making choices) whether the server is turned off because all major browsers will block Flash before the end. Most major browsers now auto update so users will simply not be able to choose to use Flash.
