HI,
   My client has requested for a print map functionality to be added to print the main map and also print the queried thematic(Graphic Layer), I see here a print service is available in ArcGIS 10.1 Server
I have 2 questions
1. My client has a ArcGIS 10.1 Server Basic License - is the print service available on this license
2. Can I print the map as a high quality intelligent PDF where I can get manage the visible of the layers

Please guide me...

For 2 ) Yes, you can do it by creating PDF from server side. Pass the visible layer ids, extent, graphics (in JSON format) and recreate everything from mxd and create a PDF. I am doing this and it works fine. But some issues exists we cannot avoid though.

Otherwise use some sliverlight (assume) get an image of web map and convert to PDF. This is another thought process. Hope this helps bit.
