Printing Disaster (slightly renamed)

There is at least one serious shortcoming with Rev's current printing 
system under Windows (refer to bug 2520, an enhancement request 
relating to this).

Rev's printing system works OK for some kinds of printouts, but not for 
others.  I am down to implementing an external which directly accesses 
the win32 printing APIs at this point in order to do one specific type 
of printout that I need for my project.
