When printing pictures flip upside-down

programming flash
1

I have a flash movie that is acting as a low-key banner, to show different organizations within a County. Everything works great. I have made it as efficient and humanly possible. I have taken a couple weeks just to make sure that everything is ironed out and that there have been no minor OR major bugs with it.

Until today, I had found nothing. Coincidentally, I needed to print out a page that I am using this Flash banner on, and I noticed that the pictures that I am loading in dynamically (jpg) flip upside-down when you go to print (either click on the print button, or hit ctrl-P). If you refresh the page, it becomes fine again. But for some reason, after they go upside-down, all the pictures that are loaded in again (BEFORE you reload the page) will be loaded upside-down as well.

Is there any way that I can stop this flipping from occurring when someone wants to print a page? Thanks in advance for the help.

oh, here is the webpage

www.milwaukeecounty.org

please, this is a really bad thing, I think if i can’t fix it we’re going to have to revert back to the really crappy ASP stuff they were using before, meaning that I basically wasted my time

UPDATE

I figured out the cause for the problem.

Operating system has no adverse effect.

However, if Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise Manager is open at the same time as the webpage, and you attempt to print, that banner will flip upside-down.

Very strange. I am going to write a bug report to them. Unless anyone knows of a way to fix this?
