I agree that it will be "platform" specific, but if it's anything like
Windows, it will hopefully be format independent. This is what so nice
about Windows. You just hand it the job in the same format as you do
for the screen (basically a redraw or repaint to the printer device).
The print driver (format/device specific) takes care of the rest.
