wxWidgets can make use of this feature

if wxWidgets is configured accordingly and if the GTK+ version is >= 2.10.

You need to configure wxWidgets with the {\it configure --with-gtkprint}

switch and your application will then search for the GTK+ print support
|

|
at runtime. If it is found, printing will be done through GTK+, otherwise the

application will fall back to GNOME printing support if it is available or,
|

|
if it isn't, to the old PostScript printing code.
