As is the drawing interface.

UNIX/Linux (X11) does not have a corresponding API, *unless* the Tk

systems (MS Windows & Aqua) is ripped out and replaced with Cario.

Errrr, no. Why not have the drawing level generate the print-out? I.e., put the printing support *under* the X11 emulation, rather than complaining that Windows printing sucks because X11 doesn't support it?
