[OpenLayers-Dev] Layering Print Problem

[Jeffrey James]

Hello,

I am helping out with a University campus navigation system ( 
http://seamster.cs.umd.edu:8090/map/index.html ) built on top of 
OpenStreetMap (http://www.openstreetmap.org) and we are having some 
trouble printing from the browser.

What ends up happening is that the top layer (what is superimposed on 
the OSM map) gets printed, but not the actual OSM map.  Actually, the 
behavior varies from browser to browser (it prints all of the top layer 
in Firefox 2, but Firefox 3 prints part of the top layer and part of the 
background layer).  The print preview is inconsistent in what it shows.

I am hoping to create a solution using OpenLayers, but am currently 
unfamiliar with it.  I came across this post that seems very similar to 
our problem: 
(http://www.nabble.com/Printing-overlay-to12128719.html#a12128719).  Is 
this the right approach to take?

Thanks much for your time and assistance.

Sincerely,
Jeffrey James
