Real printing plugin?

Exactly what type of printing is currently supported in Squeak, and what
isn't? The Windows Squeak VM System Preferences include a "Printer
Configuration" dialog. I was planning on using Squeak applications (like
Celeste and Scamper) in lieu of Windows apps, but limited printing support
will put a hold on that.

Is it Postscript printing that isn't presently built in?

John,

I'm building an application for non-expert endusers, and I would be
very interested in being able to print on Windoze.  However, because
my users will be total newbies, they need to be able to *print*, not
output postscript files to some third-party app they don't have and
can't install/configrure.

In reading the list it was my impression that such a thing was not
currently possible.  Did I misread?

Best,

Mike
