Printing Keyboard Maps

From the Keyboard Map Editor, you can print a keyboard map, choosing to print text descriptions (a text-format list of the mappings), or graphic views (a graphic bitmap of the keyboard map). You can also specify which layers (shift-state combination) to print for either the text description or graphic view format.
