Map Printing

Question

Hi,
 I am using a GP task  to print my map and its legend. well it works fine.. but it is really slow..
Also I am not able to print the route event layer that I create . it does not show on the map..

Please suggest me a efficient  way of printing the map from client side..

Thanks in advance

In 10.1 ArcGIS Server, they have provided PrintingTool, which ArcGIS API for Silverlight v3.0 expose as a PrintTask. You can look at this SDK sample: http://resourcesbetadev.arcgis.com/en/help/silverlight-api/samples/start.htm#ExportWebMap. Is the route event layer a GraphicsLayer? If yes and it has a renderer/symbol that REST API support, PrintTask should be able to handle it. You can check the sample to see if this is something you could use.

Hi thank you for your reply but the above link you mentioned does not work..
