[Chameleon] PrintProduction error

[Paul Spencer]

very odd.  the layers in chameleon.map have status on, not default IIRC. 
  There is probably some code in the print stuff that is only checking 
to see if the layer status in MS_ON instead of checking if it is either 
MS_ON or MS_DEFAULT.  That's happened before.

But I don't know why your layers would turn off if you used ON instead 
of DEFAULT in the main app ... unless you are using the LegendTemplate 
widget with a custom legend template that is not set up right?
