Tux Paint has print capabilities under Linux/Unix, Windows, Mac OS X and
BeOS.  The code is platform-dependend, however.

Under Linux/Unix, I take advantage of the NetPBM tools to convert a PNG
(spat out via libPNG) into a PS, and then pipe that to 'lpr'.  Pretty simple.

Under Windows, Mac OS X and BeOS, there's actual printing code.
Check the source! :^)

Note: Apparently, at the moment, there's been some random reports of
blank pages printing under Windows98.  *sigh*  Stupid OS. >:^(
