He uses windows native stuff I think. There is nothing to build
on there if I remember it correctly.
Made a first succesful attempt to print a rectangle using a hack
solution (still using X drawing code). 
Not much, but I learned how to create a fake MacDrawable and
swap in the printing graphics port.
Digged into the canvas code, and I think it is possible to make
some kind of "mini canvas". Lot of code to write, but can steal
a lot from the canvas stuff. It should also be favourable if
it was possible to keep the "print canvas" code clean from
platform specific stuff.
