I have the same confusion.
What I understand from OP so far:
1) Some website holds a Flash movie that allows the visitor to make a
face/drawing/whatever.
2) Then it should be printed (on the client machine I expect)
3) Why not let Flash print????
Google for: flash api print
and you'll get many results.
I have been printing with Macromedia Director (Shockwave) on the web
when the new millennium still had start. But don't ask me now how
exactly. ;-) All I remember it was very easy.
