Havent tried that yet, not even under Linux.

Do you have a test-script which I could throw onto my Windows machine to  
see if that works?

If you install rubygnome with the window installer, you can try the  
sample at

C:\ruby\samples\ruby-gnome2\gnomeprint &  
C:\ruby\samples\ruby-gnome2\gnomeprintui

[assume you install at the default location]

I cannot run the sample, but not sure others ppl can run it or not. I  
tried to compiled the ruby gnomeprint with the mingw but never success  
to run it. So, I wonder the gnomeprint is working or not in windows box.

libgnomeprint and libgnomeprintui are deprecated. Use cairo  
and GtkPrint\* instead.

rcairo, the Ruby bindings of cairo, provides binary package  
for Windows as gem. GtkPrint\* will be supported in the next  
Ruby/GTK2 release.

## Thanks,

kou
