What about systems that don't use cups for printing?

For Windows, there's a few different ways to print. Tim Golden has a
list on his website:

I have a linux system that doesn't use cups for printing.
So his "clean" solution won't work on my box. Unless
of course his cups.Connection .printFile is just a wrapper
around os.popen("lp -d MyPrinter", "wb") or something
similar.

Well I certainly don't pretend to offer any solutions on
my "Win32 How do I?" pages except for how to do things
on Win32 ;) .
