Here's my more complex codelet:

os.system("convert -background white -font Helvetica -draw 'scale 1.6,1.6 text 210,14 %s' -page 588x740-14+335 X:0x%x 'PS2:|lpr'" % (self.runwin.run.name, self.topwin.window.xid))

This uses "convert" which is part of the ImageMagick package.  The extra
complexity is to:

1) tune the size and position of the sceen image on the printed
page

2) draw a brief label string (self.runwin.run.name) at the top of the window.

3) send "convert" the X window id (in hexadecimal) so it can access the
window directly, instead of needing the user to click somewhere.

4) send the resultant postscript directly to the printer.

You probably don't need *all* this, but I thought some of the pieces might
be useful to some people.
