Hi Steve! Yes, that's right. Most of the people will help themselves with saving the picture and then printing by an arbitary program.
On Linux I would implement printing via pipelines to lp, but on Windows I have no clue how to get the job done. So I was glad to find the PrintOperations for GTK2 (>=2.10), which were portable to different OS supported by GTK. For a print button in matplotlib it is necessary to find implementations for other widget sets: * tk * wx * qt I expect, that there is enough support for printing in qt, but I do not know anything about tk or wx. My code is just a starter for this process... or at least a try.
