For example, let's say that I want to print three lines of text at a 
size of 10 points.

It is a trivial task that now requires to:
- set a printer up
- create a new class derived from wxPrintout
- find a way to make a 10 point text print as 10 point (something like 
black magic) in this new class
- make available the text to this class
- print the text in the printout class

With my proposal the task would require to:
- derive the current class also from the new printing class (just a few 
chars since there is multiple inheritance)
- add a PrintPage() method that prints the rows
- call the inherited Print() method

Again, the main advantage is not having to do with the printout concept 
and all the black magic needed to make it work.
This is not aimed to people that have already successfully printed some 
text: they already know how to do it.
The idea is to save some time and some headaches to people that has 
never printed before.

Best regards

Fulvio
