Thanks for the response,

I got the following to work on windows.

win32api.ShellExecute (
                    0, 'print', 
                    filename, None, ".", 0
                    )

However it prints the name of the file at the top 
and adds a page number on the bottom.  Is there 
some way of eliminating the filename and page 
number.
