How to print Google Map markers

Question

I am using Google Map Version 3 API to add markers on Google Map.

The problem is that, markers show up on browsers.
but when users print the map through browser's print command, nothing shows up.

The question is, - How can I display markers on printed materials? -

Comparisons:

• On the browser - markers are clearly visible

• After Print (IE7, IE8) - markers are not printed (on paper or PDF)

• After Print (FireFox 3.5.4) - only markers are printed

I suggest you try out the Static Maps API. You can build a url that will return a static image (you can build your custom markers into the URL).

The browser will do a much better job of printing an image than it will do with a dynamic Google map.
