you use the mapfish print module, I can explain why the vector layers on the map

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">Currently,
the print module only supports printing layers that come through a WMS, such as
MapServer. By hitting the “print” button in the web app, you are initiating a
request to the print module with some parameters, such as an extent, the layers
to be printed and some other text variables, such as title and comment etc.
However, I haven’t seen or come across it sending also a whole vector layer. As
far as I know, this is not implemented. I might be wrong, because I haven’t
checked this in the source code, but I also haven’t seen it in the
documentation.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">You
can however print vector WMS by letting the print module request an SVG instead
of raster tiles.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

am trying to incorporate a print function into my app. The app basically shows a
