hi,

 when printing a source file from a text editor the default behaviour should print the content of the document, not the text editor component itself.

Printing the gui widget rather than the content means that artifacts of the editor and its transient state are seen in the output, including
   (i) the current line selection highlight
   (ii) folded areas are still folded, and without any indication that this is whats happened

I can understand some users might want to print with the area's that they've folded in their editor, still folded in the output, but think this should be an option that is opted-into?

thanks,
Andrew
