I've been trying to come up with a decent way to handle printing.
gnomeprint provides a beautiful print preview, but from the programming
end, it seems there's no documentation (except examples) and few
convenience functions (e.g. to handle paragraphs and text layout
simply). For these reasons, reportlab seems to me like a better approach
for handling text layout from my app -- it also will work
cross-platform. However, my main target-audience is GNOME users, so I
would love to have the beautiful GNOME print dialog w/ the print preview
& all. Is there any way to simply hand gnomeprint an existing pdf or
postscript file?

If not, does anyone know of some nice bindings to simplify gnomeprint
layout? I really just want to lay out paragraphs and I have no desire to
implement basic paragraph layout on my own.

(I notice gramps has as gnomeprint based output as one of many forms --
I may just lift a lot of their paragraph layout code, but it still seems
like an unnecessarily onerous process to me).
