Being MFC, its not exactly simple, but I've posted a script that will allow you to
select an image with a file dialog, display it, and then print it at a specified
magnification (uses the print item in the standard PythonWin file menu).

This was taken from a larger app, but shows how to print textual info after the
image and how to handle mutliple pages.  No checking for the image spilling off
the right edge or bottom of the page.

It requires PIL and at least PythonWin build 125 (I believe).  The script must be
run from PythonWin to work...

You can get the script at
