[python-win32] why do I get error 1804 from win32print.SetJob?

I should not have scoffed at your speculation, because your analysis was 
correct.  The win32print code is calling SetJobW, which expects Unicode, 
but the JOB_INFO_1 structure is filled with ANSI strings.  That's a very 
nasty bug.  I'll file a bug report.

In the meantime, I'll fix up my little C++ example to do the job for you.
