Hi all, my colleague helped me with an amazing javascript that allows you to print scrolling panels. The scenario in my slides is as follows: Students are presented with a question and a text field to enter their response. The next slide shows them a model answer and their response from the previous slide, WHICH THEY CAN PRINT. And it doesn't matter how long the texts are- it will print all. The javascript is as follows: (please note the 2nd and 3rd line- i.e. text1 and variable1- these must be changed accordingly. Good luck. 

var player = GetPlayer();
var modelAnswer = player.GetVar("text1");
var yourAnswer = player.GetVar("variable1");

var mywindow = window.open('', 'Printing', 'height=400,width=600');
mywindow.document.write('<html><head><title>Printing</title>');
mywindow.document.write('</head><body >');
mywindow.document.write('<h2>Here is the Model Answer</h2>');
mywindow.document.write(modelAnswer);
mywindow.document.write('<h2>Here is Your Answer</h2>');
mywindow.document.write(yourAnswer);
mywindow.document.write('</body></html>');

mywindow.document.close(); // necessary for IE >= 10
mywindow.focus(); // necessary for IE >= 10

mywindow.print();
mywindow.close();

Here's an working example: http://samaree.com.au/moodle/mod/resource/view.php?id=58
