First off, print <stuff> stills works from an XP cmd.exe, but only for LPT printers, not USB.
Secondly, Win32's methods are well documented, using them isn't. There are some tutorials included with the download, and you get a chm help file filled with the objects and methods, but as far as tutorials go, buy Mark Hammond's book if you want the full picture. For what it's worth, PyWin32 is one of the simplest interfaces to the Windows API / COM I've seen, so if you intend to do a lot of XP stuff, you'll need it. Oh yeah, and there's bugger all docstrings.
