I think it's the latter. I believe he wants to know how to print a PDF file without using any external programs (or "drivers") like Acrobat Reader or ghostscript that understand PDF. AFAIK, the only way to do what he wants would be for him to write a PDF engine in Python that renders PDF into whatever raw format is understood by his printer. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!
