I meant to add that this is similar to the traditional way of priniting
in Unix which was to generate a [gnt]roff document and then send it
to print via lpr.

HTML is the modern equivalent to troff...

Subject: ttk printing (was Re: [Tutor] application with tabs)

I've been seeing Alan and others advocate the new themed widgets
for Tkinter and it looks pretty cool, but in what I've seen in an
admittedly cursory glance I don't see that there's yet much in the
way of printing support for apps (other than getting raw PostScript
for what's on a canvas) which is one of the things still pushing
me toward wxPython instead.

I'd love to make use of all the time I invested over the years
learning Tcl/Tk and Tkinter, but this doesn't look like there's a
good solution (such as support for writing to the Windows GDI on
Windows, although the PostScript output is likely adequate on Unix
and Macs).

Is there something people are using in that space for Tk?
