I don't know anything about *printing* but the drawing area, etc.. are
pretty well documented with a fair amount of examples available.  See
http://code.google.com/p/consonance/source/browse/trunk/Gtk/Calendar/Whitemice.Gtk.Calendar/DayStrip.cs for an example that draws a calendar like http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ddv5htgd_23c4spt3gj

There has been "how to print" traffic on this list very recently.
Apparently there is a sample/GtkDemo/DemoPrinting.cs distributed with
mono.  But I haven't checked it out yet.  Someone else suggested getting
a System.Drawing.Graphics object via Gtk.DotNet and giving that to
System.Drawing.Printing.

Of course another option for things like bills & invoices would be to
generate a PDF.
