Below is a modified version of the code in the widgets.py sample which 
I think should get an image of the current background (frame) or panel, 
whichever you want and save that to a PNG file. I haven't tested it, 
but it should work. Once  you have an image on disk you should be able 
to just embed the image in a simplistic HTML file and use the 
HTMLEasyPrinting stuff. Hopefully that will do it. If the code below 
works I could see generalizing it and maybe making it a function in 
util.py

     w = self  # self.panel
     imagesDir = "your_dir_here"
     name = "your_filename_here"

     bmp = wx.EmptyBitmap(w.size[0], w.size[1])
     memdc = wx.MemoryDC()
     memdc.SelectObject(bmp)
     dc = wx.WindowDC(w)
     memdc.BlitPointSize((0, 0), w.size, dc, (0, 0))
     imgfilename = os.path.join(imagesDir, name + '.png')
     bmp.SaveFile(imgfilename, wx.BITMAP_TYPE_PNG)
     dc = None
     memdc.SelectObject(wx.NullBitmap)
     memdc = None
     bmp = None
