This site is considered to be a wish list for the text widget printing support.

At this time I know that text widget is widely used to
create reports or text editors, so options which I find useful are:

    * pagination mechanism
    * ability to add headers, footers to pages
    * generated page breaks at user-definable locations
    * ability to do preview before starting printing (see point 5)

I'm open to any suggestions to what more should be added to this list.

[ZB] Maybe consider the following, as kind of "completion":

    * Possibility not just to print, but also to export text window's contents into ps file
    * ...like above, but into *.pdf

Yes, there are some suggested solutions at the wiki already, but it all relies either on additional packages, or even on external utilities (like enscript and so on), and therefore aren't portable. Better would be - if possible - to have direct export possibility. Both file formats are important: "ps" because it can be further processed by other printing tools (like gs), and "pdf" because it's de facto standard in the documents exchange.
