Printing from a wxpython application under Windows98

I am a Linux user and have no experience in programming printer functions
in a windows-environment.

I am writing an application that would have to run on Windows 98.  I see
in the documentation that the printer setup dialog is no longer necessary
for windows 98.  How I handle printing in Windows?  How do you set up the
printer?

I have tried the PrintFramework demo on Linux, and it ended in a
segmentation fault.  I do not know why and that prevents me from
experimenting which is the way I learn most of my programming.

To be specific: If I want to print from a database on a preprinted
certificate, which would be the best way to handle it?

1. Using wxPrinter
2. Writing my own classes in python printing using the os module (of which
I am not certain in a Windows environment)
3. Create a LaTeX file and print using LaTeX and dvips.
4. Any other way?
