 I usually recommend people to use wxHtmlEasyPrinting if they can as it's,
indeed, much easier than dealing with wxPrintout and what not. But it can't
be used in all cases, of course, and I don't know how much the existing API
can be really simplified without losing some functionality, but it should
be possible to improve it at least somewhat.

 As everything else in wxWidgets, it basically just waits until someone
becomes motivated enough to actually do it...
