I think what I need to do to print is the following:
1. draw to a GdkPixmap
2. get the GdkPixbuf from the Pixmap
3. pass the GdkPixbuf ( which I believe is just raw image data? ) to the
function described here
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN;138594
I think my reasons for being unsure about how to proceed are because
win32 refers to images as bitmaps while gtk+ refers to them as pixmaps.
Are they the same?
And are they interchangeable?
That won't works: your printer will not be expecting a raw bitmap. As
the article says, it's printer specific. This is for the lowest level
control of a printer - like writing a user space driver or something odd
like that.
If would suggest dumping the pixbuf to a file (.png or something else
less lossless) and then using another program to print it. I'm sure
paint or something can be asked to print a file from the command line
like notepad can be with text files.
