As the author of the Win32/GDI module of libgnomeprint, I can say that
libgnomeprint supports Win32 officially. However, it's still quite
buggy. You can submit any bug report to bugzilla.g.o.

Building libgnomeprint(ui) is not really difficult if you know how to
build hello-world for gtk+/win32. Actually, libgnomeprintui is more
solid than libgnomeprint on the Win32 platform as libgnomeprint still
has a well known transformation bug ATM. You can download a copy of
Gnumeric/Win32 from [1] (which is the major user of libgnomeprint and
libgnomeprintui on Win32) and open a .xls file with charts and texts.
The worst case is that you will get mirrored page/text. (You can also
get the binaries of libgnomeprint in the package)
