[python-win32] Question about printing through IE

[Jason Robinson]

Roger,

Thanks! I'm currently fixing the program to make a pdf file instead.. but
being able to program it to do the page setup stuff for IE would be easier..

Will look into that registry stuff.. need to find out how to access it first
:)
