Q: 

Printing window with GtkTreeView in C?

I have some reports in my application that are represented as window with GtkTreeView widget reading data from GtkListStore model. These reports are much like Excel tables with usual stuff: column names, some header and footer text, maybe small image, ...

What should I use/read/learn to be able to print this, having in mind that I am a C programmer using GTK+ and I want code to be portable to Linux and Windows.

Can you give me some tips what is best way to do this and maybe put some (pseudo or real) code?

+1  A: 

That should be possible with libCairo, it supports many backends such as Windows GDI, PostScript and PDF.

Sure, that doesn't spawn a printing dialog but that should not be very complicated if the data to be printed can be computed automatically in all important formats. I think Mozilla Firefox does printing with libCairo, too.
