Simple print-screen method?

wxPython Users
1

I have a wxNotebook-based application that helps coordinate our research
support operations. Many thanks to Robin et al.!

My users have been clamoring for an expanded range of "print" operations.
While the application has long supported PDF generation using reportlab,
it's awkward and potentially buggy to create for every one of the dozens
of notebook pages in the app. So...

   Is there a (preferably simple) way of implementing a "window print"
   operation? In a platform-independent way?

   Extra points for a method that would optionally allow the user print
   grids that exceed the screen size (multipage)!

If I've missed some documentation section/page, feel free to point to that!
My search through demo.py and the Dunn/Rappin book didn't reveal anything
that seemed right.

Thanks!

This has been asked on the list before. Andrea and the Dabo guys both had
an answer. See the following thread:
