Hi Rolf,

Just a quick copy+paste from the "Limitations and
Known Issues" section in the "What's new.txt" file in
the Revolution folder:
--
Issue:  On Mac OS and OS X systems, certain controls
(scrollbars, standard buttons, radio buttons,
checkboxes, option menus) may not print properly if
the "lookAndFeel" property is set to "Appearance
Manager".
Workaround:  During printing, replace each affected
control with an image of the control. (You can create
the image automatically in a handler using the "import
snapshot" command.) When printing is complete, delete
the images. If the exact appearance of these controls
is not critical, you can instead change the
"lookAndFeel" to "Macintosh" during printing, then
change it back.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
