Re: PrintProvider implementation in the Lookup of a MultiviewElement TopComponent not used!

I've had a very quick look at the sources of PrintAction. The action first
searches for components with the PrintManager.PRINT_PRINTABLE property set
to TRUE among all child components of the activated TopComponent.
If this happens to be the case, i.e. any component found, the lookup is not
queried anymore. (The javadoc seems to be incorrect at PrintManger, but I
may also be wrong.)
Hope this helps,
Boris
