[reportlab-users] Printing through Adobe Reader - shutdown

[Michael Hipp]

Resurrecting an old thread...

Does anyone know if it's possible to redirect the printout to a different Win 
printer using the 'ie' method show below? As written it always goes to the
default printer.

<dreaming>
I really wish there were a lightweight, robust, pythonistic way to print pdfs 
directly rather than using these hired henchmen. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Michael
