Printing in Silverlight2

Question

(This must be a FAQ, but I can’t find any other questions about it.)

What are the options for coping with the lack of printing support in Silverlight?

Other questions I asked trying to solve the same root problem.

• How do I create (and display) a MS-Word document from a Silverlight application
• Are there any client side report writers for Silverlight
• How do I create (and display) a pdf page from a Silverlight application

This has now changed with newer versions of Silverlight
