You'll probably want to ask on the wxPython-users mailing list if you 
have specific questions about those classes since PythonCard doesn't 
provide any specific printing support.

I almost never print from my Win2K box and I just realized I have never 
printed from my Mac, ever, so I also know that I probably won't be the 
one that adds any printing wrapper support to PythonCard <wink>

A lot of people use ReportLab to generate PDF reports.

http://www.reportlab.com/

I will be adding component wrappers for the ActiveX_PDFWindow and 
ActiveX_FlashWindow to PythonCard 0.8 which will be similar to the 
ActiveX_IEHtmlWindow that is already wrapped. These are 
Windows-specific, but too useful to leave out for those people writing 
something just for Windows. The PDFWindow component will allow you to 
display any PDF file so if you are generating reports with ReportLab 
you'll be able to preview and print them easily. See the wxPython demo.
