(not) printing flash

How can I not have realized that flash in a webpage is not printed when you print the page; it just leaves a big empty spot. Incredible. No info to be found on how to change this as well. I’m actually appalled. So, what to do… create a print specific version of the page, regardsless of the wonders of modern css? Anybody any idea?

[UPDATE] This was written more out of disbelieve/ frustration, but it got some reblogs trying to help, for which thanks. This made it clear that some more info into the actual problem would be helpful ;-) The site is Dagblad Academy that I designed and coded; the flash is inserted by javascript into the page (using UFO). So flash is actually only used as animation, and there will be JPG alternatives. However this substitution cannot be controled by mere CSS/ medium stylesheets, so I’m left with creating an alternative version of the page just for printing, with all the possible confusion and overhead that brings.
