However, the overall problem here is that printer APIs are very different between os and they aren't abstracted in python to some common module. They need access to GUI libraries which python doesn't expose out of the box.
I know the usual response to what I'm about to say is "Knock yourself out, let us know when you have something workable" but I have to say it anyways... wow, that seems like such a gaping hole that I can't hardly believe its not filled. Printing final results is a *huge* part of what I'm wanting to do.
Seems like it'd be a huge opportunity for someone wanting to improve/contribute to python, or like one of the 'summer of code' projects, etc.
So as sad as it may sound - going through some native program such as excel or acrobat to perform the printing might be your best bet.
Opening Adobe Reader as a sort of 'print preview' might be a workable solution... since the results will likely need to be a) archived and b) emailed out to the group.
