IDLE can print editor contents to the default printer.  The code is in 
idlelib.iomenu.  The subprocess commands used are


print-command-posix=lpr %%s
print-command-win=start /min notepad /p %%s

I believe %%s becomes the name of the saved file.

Neither Python nor Tkinter include interface libraries to talk to hardware
printers out of the box, but a number of libraries and methods exist
depending on your platform. Both Wx and Qt, UI toolkits with great Python
bindings, do support printers to one degree or another, although I don't
know how difficult these are to work with. Either may offer good options,
or at least a starting point, if you look at the wxPython and/or PyQt
libraries.

System printer object

[Dave]

I need to print to one or both of my system printers.  I have not found 
a printer object in Python or in Tkinter.  This needs to work with 
Linux, Window, and Mac.  Can someone point me in the right direction? 
Ultimately, I want to have a File/Print in the menu that lets me select 
the printer and properties.


Thanks,
Dave
