That works.  Thanks Mattia!  One thing I noticed was that the 4 circles 
in the demo print out solid black instead of just an outline.

Another thing I'm trying to understard is which classes are printable. 
I noticed that PrintingDemoCanvas (in Printing.pm) ISA 
Wx::ScrolledWindow.  Could it be something else?

Also, are childeren windows printed, or just "drawn" items?  For 
instance, would text/images in a sizer on a panel print?

I apologize if these are answered in the documentation.  I've read the 
printing overview, and several of the "see also" pages, but I'm not 
seeing/understanding it.

Thanks!
