[Tutor] A Newbie Printing Question

[Liam Clarke]

First off, print <stuff> stills works from an XP cmd.exe, but only for
LPT printers, not USB.

Secondly, Win32's methods are well documented, using them isn't. 
There are some tutorials included with the download, and you get a chm
help file filled with the objects and methods, but as far as tutorials
go, buy Mark Hammond's book if you want the full picture.

For what it's worth, PyWin32 is one of the simplest interfaces to the
Windows API / COM I've seen, so if you intend to do a lot of XP stuff,
you'll need it.

Oh yeah, and there's bugger all docstrings.



Regards,


Liam Clarke
