gnomeprint

I'm reading "Cross-Platform GUI Programming with wxWidgets." It mentions
GTK+ printing and the --with-gnomeprint built switch. How does this
switch affect wxPython? AFAIK, I've never built wxWidgets as part of
installing wxPython.

Thanks,
Mark

It should be turned on by default in recent wxGTK builds on newer distros. You should be able to tell fairly easily if you use a print setup dialog. If it looks modern and Gnomish then wx is using gnomeprint. If it looks simple and 1990s-ish then wx is falling back to the old generic postscript code.
