IMHO, the suggestions here are quite complicated for basic printing=20
needs. Additionally, some of the suggestions are really not printing=20
solutions at all, but seem to just produce printable documents such as =
PDF.

Does System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument not work in mono? Why=20
couldn't one create code like that mentioned in the MSDN docs for=20
PrintDocument below?
