help on printing

wxPython Users

Hi,
I'n new to wxpython so if this has already been answered in detail
elsewhere, please only give me the URL.

I need to draw some simple graphics consisting of rectangles in
colors, which is already working, and then print them in various
formats: postscript or standard printer drivers under Win32. In
particular, the drivers include B/W printers, color printers and Adobe
Distiller to generate pdf files. I anticipate no problems generating a
print dialog but could use help in how to actually set up and draw the
data for these different printer types.

I've seen several comments that printing in wxPython is still difficult. If
somebody has a sample script on how to print to these various
sources, I'd be very grateful.

Have you looked at the PrintFramework sample in the demo?
