System printer object

Neither Python nor Tkinter include interface libraries to talk to hardware
printers out of the box, but a number of libraries and methods exist
depending on your platform. Both Wx and Qt, UI toolkits with great Python
bindings, do support printers to one degree or another, although I don't
know how difficult these are to work with. Either may offer good options,
or at least a starting point, if you look at the wxPython and/or PyQt
libraries.
