In version GTK+ 2.10, support for printing has finally been
added to GTK+ itself. Support for this has yet to be written
for wxGTK (which requires drawing through Cairo).
In version GTK+ 2.10, support for printing has been added to GTK+
itself. Beginning with version wxWidgets 2.9.X, the GTK+ port of
wxWidgets can make use of this feature
if wxWidgets is configured accordingly and if the GTK+ version is >= 2.10.
You need to configure wxWidgets with the {\it configure --with-gtkprint}
switch and your application will then search for the GTK+ print support
at runtime. If it is found, printing will be done through GTK+, otherwise the
application will fall back to GNOME printing support if it is available or,
if it isn't, to the old PostScript printing code.
Note that the application will not require a GTK+ version >= 2.10
to be installed in order to run (there will be no dependency on
this version).
