Hi Wayne, Jean-Pierre, Thank you for testing the code. I have already followed Tom's suggestion and added gdiplus to linked libraries in my branch. I wanted to take advantage of wxWidgets as much as I could, so I was forced to work with wxDC. Otherwise I would have to go much deeper and deal directly with CUPS and GDI+ to invoke a printing dialog and actually start printing. The only reasonable way to make wxDC and Cairo compatible is via wxGraphicsContext, as it uses Cairo underneath. Have a look at cairo_print.cpp [1] to see ugly details, but it is the only place where I refer to gdiplus. I have not enabled USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT on purpose, as it seems to affect legacy canvases which is not needed here.
