Care to share a synopsis of how it works ? A cursory review
seems to indicate Text gets converted to a Canvas, then the
actual printing is applied to the Canvas. The Win32 code looks
pretty simple, and my first attempt build burped on some preproc
#define's, so it may not be too difficult.

That being said, I assume there's no hooks for the usual
printer properties dialog ?
