I'll take a look.

hm, I don't know about the specific requirements for printing, but I'd 
imagine if you have an image that there must be some way to print it. So 
my guess would be that you can simply render with an FBO, download the 
image/texture from the GPU into main memory and push it to some printing 
API from there (sorry if this makes no sense, I really know nothing 
about printing, especially not on windows ;) ).

        Cheers,
                Carsten
