Thank you, thank you, thank you! It turns out that if you want to use Gtk.PrintOperation, your Main function, wherever it is, must have the [STAThread] attribute. I've been using Mono and Gtk# for a year now without this (just using Gtk.Application.Invoke for to run in the correct thread), but Printing appears to require STAThread. (My application is actually written in IronPython, which would be problematic as there is no way to set this attribute, and so there appears to be no way to have a pure IronPython app that prints in Windows. But this is easily remedied by creating a little C# wrapper). If that does not help you should send your complaint about the missing support to the people you did contract for urgent support. Well, this is an open source project, without money or contracts. So it is up to people like us to make sure that we provide even little hints to each other. And so, this day shall be know as Elmar Day :) Your hint means a lot to a lot of users.

It turns out that if you want to use Gtk.PrintOperation, your Main
function, wherever it is, must have the [STAThread] attribute.

The printing support is invoking native Windows functions,
and some of them need a STA thread.
IronPython, which would be problematic as there is no way to set this
attribute, and so there appears to be no way to have a pure IronPython
app that prints in Windows. But this is easily remedied by creating a
little C# wrapper).
You don't need a wrapper if you translate this to IronPython:
// entry point
static void Main (string[] args)
{
// create a STA thread
Thread t = new Thread(delegate {
RealMain(args);
});
t.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
t.Start();
t.Join();
}
static void RealMain(string[] args)
{
// do stuff you've done in main before
}
