At the moment, there's no way to do this, unfortunately.  But it's an
excellent idea.  Perhaps use a key (like [Space]) to 'grab' and 'ungrab'
the mouse from the canvas area?

I'll add this to the "RFE" (Requests for Enhancement) list over on
the Tux Paint project at SourceForge.net.  Thanks!

Another thing to note is that we've already implemented an "Are you sure?"
option when printing, giving kids an opportunity to abort if they mistakenly
hit the 'Print' button on the screen.  That will be in version 0.9.15.

Sorry for the wasted paper! :)
