Enable a Button in "disabled mode"

Hi Guys,

We are relatively new to using CKEditor and I have noticed that when you mark a textarea with 'disabled="disabled"' all the tool bar buttons are greyed out except for the print button.

This is useful to us, as we would like users to be able to print currently uneditable assets, however we would also like to enable other buttons whilst the editor itself is in disabled mode.

I have looked through the editor and was unable to see what it is that allows the print button to be enabled even if the text area is disabled.

Has anyone else previously come across a similar situation and may be able to point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Tom
