Printing problem

[Peter Abraham]

Hi,

I tried the following very simple code based on the example of
http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/Printing. (Debian Sarge, wxPython
2.6.3.2)

from wx.html import HtmlEasyPrinting

reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding("utf-8")

class Print_man(HtmlEasyPrinting):
    def __init__(self):
        HtmlEasyPrinting.__init__(self)

    def Print(self, file_name):
        if not self.PrintFile(file_name):
            print "???"

    def Preview(self, file_name):
        self.PreviewFile(file_name)

class Main_frame(wx.App):
    def OnInit(self):
        ...
        self.Printing = Print_man()
        ...

    def Print_file(self, event):
        self.Printing.Print("teszt.html")


Despite the following warning message during the starting of the script
it prints a simple .html file.
"(python:10204): GnomePrintCupsPlugin-WARNING **: iconv does notsupport
ppd character encoding: ISOLatin1, trying CSISOLatin1"

My questions: Is there any solution to print a "not simple" html file
(e.g with tables, images)? Can I use html 4.0? Can I use unicode
characters? Beside the HtmlEasyPrinting class is there any printing
solution 'inside wxPython' that works under Linux and Windows XP, too?
(Previously a .pdf file was created with Reportlab modul and the created
file was printed by another program. If it is possibe I'd like to change
this solution.) My aim: print an invoice or a report by one button
press. (Without preview or any dialog box.)

thanx,

Peter
