Take a look at http://wxwidgets.org/manuals/2.6.3/wx_wxprintout.html
Printing is very, very low-level in wxPython. This would require a
major effort, probably on par with creating the Dabo grid, in order
to achieve basic printing in Dabo.
Does ReportLab have an option of 'to printer' instead of opening up
the output in a preview? If so, that could handle a large amount of
our printing needs.
