You can absolutely print from Gtk#.  Two resources I would use to figure
out how are:

 - Gtk+ Printing Manual
   http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.12/Printing.html
   
   I'd look here first to get an overview of how the classes are 
   structured, and what you need to do to get the job done.

 - Gtk# Documentation
   http://go-mono.org/docs/monodoc.ashx?tlink=4@ecma%3a1146%23Print%2f

   While fairly sparse, you can use the Gtk# documentation to map a Gtk+
   methods to Gtk#.

Hope this helps.
