Adobe LiveDocs PrintAdvancedGrid Example Does Not Work

Question

http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/flex/3/html/printing_043_17.html
I tried implementing the code found in the Adobe LiveDocs
into my AdvancedDataGrid application, but when I printed, all that
was printed was "IB" in the top left corner of the page.
I thought it might be a problem with something in my
application, so I tried running the code from the example, and
received the same result.
Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Hi,
You need to add the PrintAdvancedDataGrid as a child of the
Application and after sending it to the PrintJob, it need to be
removed.
The modified doPrint() method is posted here -
// Create a PrintJob instance.
private function doPrint():void {
// Create an instance of the FlexPrintJob class.
var printJob:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob();
// Initialize the PrintAdvancedDataGrid control.
var printADG:PrintAdvancedDataGrid =
new PrintAdvancedDataGrid();
printADG.source = adg;
// Add the print-specific control to the application.
addChild(printADG);
// Start the print job.
if (printJob.start() != true) return;
// Add the object to print. Do not scale it.
printJob.addObject(printADG, FlexPrintJobScaleType.NONE);
// Send the job to the printer.
printJob.send();
// Remove the print-specific control to free memory.
removeChild(printADG);
Thanks,
