Tkinter doesn't wrap native printing API's. There are a few extensions
that do it, but they are platform specific and not complete.
The usual ways of printing are like this:
1. If you're outputting data from the text widget, write that to a
temporary text file and print via lpr.
2. If you're outputting data from the canvas, write that to a temporary
postscript file and print via lpr.
This is on Unix/MacOS. Not sure what the equivalent API on Windows is.
