Ok, I think I found the reason the darn thing wont print under windows.
It seems that because I have about 10000 lines drawn in cairo onto the
print surface, the printer chucks a fit.  Now I draw to a separate cairo
surface and copy to the print context, which generates somewhat fuzzy
lines, but at least works.

Is there something I can do to improve the fuzzy lines?
