If it is a print that can take direct character output (e.g. one
that has PCL or text mode emulation) you can do following:
lpr=open('LPT1','w') # or LPT2, LPT3
lpr.writeline('the output line you want')
lpr.close()
If it is a GDI-only printer it is MUCH more difficult. You need
to interface with Windows GDI. If this is the case, take a look
at wxPython interface to wxWindows (see printPreview) or you can
use Mark Hammonds Windows utilities.
FYI, Larry
