How to print in captivate 5 - no widget

Question

Hi,
I've seen various posts about using a widget to print a window/slide  "made from" Captivate 5.
As I work in gov and their security policy is restrictive (for good reason I suppose), I can't download this widget.
Is there another way I can get a slide to print? I was trying to do an execute javascript thing on a button, but that doesn't work.
I published the file, went into the HTML and tinkered with it as per codelifter: and this post http://forums.adobe.com/thread/765038?tstart=0
============================================================
Script:     Print Current Window From A Link
Function:   Opens printer dialogue to print current page
Browsers:   Version 4 and later (others degrade gracefully)

============================================================
Step 1.
Put the following script in the head of your page.
<script>
// (C) 2000 www.CodeLifter.com
// http://www.codelifter.com
// Free for all users, but leave in this  header
function printWindow(){
   bV = parseInt(navigator.appVersion)
   if (bV >= 4) window.print()
</script>
============================================================
Step 2.
Put the following in the body of your page.
<a href="javascript:printWindow()">Print This Page</a>
============================================================
I couldn't do step two, because the html is per project not slide/page, but before I published I put in the script window
"javascript:printWindow()" for "on Success" (ie clicking the button)
It doesn't print though.
Should I be using advanced actions instead?
I have created a slide with text captions that have fields with a background of  a certificate. I want users to be able to print the certificate.
Thank you

Unfortunately, I think you're going to find that the Print Widget is your best option.  It's an excellent widget that fills a very big gap in Cp functionality, the simple task of printing out a runtime slide.
It doesn't really represent a security threat, but if you are trying to download it as a wdgt file, the reason your network is blocking this is that it probably doesn't know what this file ending is for, so it assumes it must be something nasty.  Secured networks usually have a limited list of file endings that are permitted and this one (.wdgt) is unique to Cp widgets.
But a widget can also be a simple SWF file as well.  It doesn't have to be .wdgt to work.
Contact the creator of the Print Widget: http://www.cpguru.com/2010/09/03/intelligent-print-widget-for-adobe-captivate-4-and-adobe- captivate-5/
You should be able to get him to supply you with an SWF version of the widget (after you purchase it).
If your network currently allows you to view Flash content at all, it already allows SWF files, so this widget should not be blocked in any way.
All the other routes you describe above are a lot more trouble and far less likely to work reliably.
