 Printing under Unix has always been a cause of problems as Unix does not
 provide a standard way to display text and graphics on screen and print it to a

-Starting with version 2.8.X, the GNOME project provides printing support
-through the libgnomeprint and libgnomeprintui libraries by which especially the
-font problem is mostly solved. Beginning with version 2.5.4, the GTK+ port of
-wxWidgets can make use of these libraries if wxWidgets is configured
-accordingly and if the libraries are present. You need to configure wxWidgets
-with the <tt>configure --with-gnomeprint</tt> switch and your application will
-then search for the GNOME print libraries at runtime. If they are found,
-printing will be done through these, otherwise the application will fall back
-to the old PostScript printing code. Note that the application will not require
-the GNOME print libraries to be installed in order to run (there will be no
-dependency on these libraries).

-In version GTK+ 2.10, support for printing has been added to GTK+ itself.
-Beginning with version wxWidgets 2.9.X, the GTK+ port of wxWidgets can make use
-of this feature if wxWidgets is configured accordingly and if the GTK+ version
-is = 2.10. You need to configure wxWidgets with the
-<tt>configure --with-gtkprint</tt> switch and your application will then search
-for the GTK+ print support at runtime. If it is found, printing will be done
-through GTK+, otherwise the application will fall back to GNOME printing
-support if it is available or, if it isn't, to the old PostScript printing
-code. Note that the application will not require a GTK+ version = 2.10 to be
-installed in order to run (there will be no dependency on this version).
+Since GTK+ 2.10, support for printing has been added to GTK+ itself and
+beginning with wxWidgets 2.9, GTK+ printing is used by default (i.e. unless
+<tt>--without-gtkprint</tt> was explicitly used when configuring the library).
+Support for GTK+ print is detected dynamically, i.e. during the run-time: if it
+is found, printing will be done through GTK+, otherwise the application will
+fall back to the old PostScript printing code. This allows the applications
+built with wxWidgets to still work on the very old systems using GTK+ earlier
+than 2.10.
