[Tutor] Outputting Data to Printer

[Ken G.]

Is there a Python command to send data to printer? 

I have a Canon MX300 hooked up by USB.   I can print from Firefox and 
Thunderbird.  I am using Ubuntu 9.04 and Python 2.6.2.

I could print to a file and then use gedit to print out the content of 
the file but I was wondering if there was an easily way to do this.

Thanks,

Ken
