This is sounding like developing a platform-independent program involving Tkinter and requiring printing is no easy task. Fortunately my efforts need only run successfully on the Solaris 10 OS.

It does not help me at work, but for non-work projects it might be very useful. However, I should work on mastering Tkinter first, as I am sure that all of the principles I learn here will be generically useful for any GUI programming.
