Printing

[Peter Milliken]

I had the same problem when I wrote an app using Python and Tkinter - the
same routes were opened when I searched for platform independent printing
and I wasn't happy with any of them.

This is one of the reasons I have started to explore Jython - it allows you
to write your application in Python and use the Java VM and libraries i.e.
Java Swing for the GUI and then print using Java print
libraries/techniques - about the most platform independent method I have
found todate :-)

Hope this helps,
Peter
