Printing on FLEX with monospace font

I have searched with no luck. Does someone have an example of printing on the FLEX using a monospace font? The default font for some reason is NOT monospace (which to me is not correct). Have a tradeshow this weekend, and need to get this working asap. I can print fine using TextPrintHJob, and have tried ViewPrintJob, but it fails when it reaches the system print queue (no exception when creating).

ViewPrintJob can be tricky because of layout widths and things when applied to a layout that's never really laid out by Android. I suggest using ImagePrintJob. Google for how to turn your Android view into a bitmap, and test by writing that bitmap to a file and ensuring it looks like you expect before trying to send it to the printer. Remember for Flex it needs to be 384px wide.
