Whatever... ;)  I'm just remembering what I saw on the advertisement at
our local PC Club store.

OK, then I propose the creation of a gtk_printarea object.  It takes all
the same functions (as much as possible, that is) as gtk_drawingarea,
except that it dumps its output to a file stream, perhaps a pipe to a
Postscript interpretter like Ghostscript.  However, it should still be
modular -- I'd like the opportunity to write my own printer driver for
that widget.
