Printing with Silverlight 5 and API 2.4

Question

I was using SL 4 and api 2.1 with DB's Printing Sample. It worked great, but now I updated to SL 5 with api 2.4 and everything gets jammed together when printed. Everything looks fine in the preview child window, but when sent to the printer, it does not keep its format. Did something change? I know that SL5 uses vectors and bitmap, is there sample code to show how to treat these two with the new stuff?

Also, the "onDemand" layers are not coming up on the printed map or the preview map. Can onDemand layers be printed?

Thanks all

Sure. When printing and selecting the printer, use the 'Preferences' dialog to change the printer parameters : Orientation, Paper size.....
The print will use these parameters that will become the default for the print preview dialog.

Hi,

I am using the silverlight 4 version for printing the map and the  base map used is dynamic map service. 
http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Louisville/LOJIC_LandRecords_Louisville/MapServer
this is the sample map which i used. 
While printing A4 and A5 it is working fine. But when i tried A3, A2 etc it is throwing error. The exception is {System.Exception: Unknown printing error.}.

I am also getting same issues when i am trying to print a dynamic map which contains large number of layers. When i try to print a dynamic map with large number of layer it(A4) works fine for 3 -4 times, then it stops working.

How can i fix these issue. Any suggustion will be really helpful.

Regards,
Balu
