How to Add Print Control on MapQuest Map using Javascript

Question

In map quest web site, their map has a print menu item on top of the menu. I want to have the same print button on my custom map quest map. I checked the JavaScript API and there is nothing for print for map options.

For example I can add a Large Zoom Control on the map with the following code snippet.

map.addControl(
               new MQA.LargeZoom(),
               new MQA.MapCornerPlacement(MQA.MapCorner.TOP_LEFT, new MQA.Size(5, 5))
);

There is no MQA.Print Control in the Javascript API in the following url http://developer.mapquest.com/web/documentation/sdk/javascript/v7.0/api/MQA.LargeZoom.html

Does anyone know how Print Control can be added to the map using JavaScript?

There is no controls defined in mapquest for printing the map. place the button for print in the page and use the following jquery function when the button clicked.

$('SelectorToPrint').printElement();

The map should be loaded in particular element. so that you can print the map only.
