Cross-Platform text edit with printing

[Arne Caspari <arne unicap-imaging org>]

Hi, 

I want to write an application that presents a form which could be
edited by the user and which should then be printed. 

The text editing functionality of a multiline  edit would suffice but I
do not know how to print the text buffer. Using gnome-print is not an
option since the application should run on Win32 and on Linux. 

Can anybody give me a hint on what might be the easiest way to do this? 

Thanks, 

 /Arne
