I think what people want (and doesn't exist), is not a printing solution 
(wxPrintDC works pretty well), but rather a layout/typesetting solution.

wxHTMLEasyPrinting

is the closest we have.

Unfortunately, layout and typesetting (particularly decent typesetting) 
is a very hard problem. I know I'd love to have TeX embedded to do 
typesetting for me, but alas, TeX is not designed to be embedded. There 
have been folks working on it in the past, but I don't think anything 
has come of those efforts.
