I use pdfs for checks, invoices, etc. ReportLab lets you do very precise 
layout easily.  I just save them as a temporary file and then use 
os.system and an lpr command to send them to the printer (under Linux):

Then cups worries about finding the printer, checking its status, 
managing the queue, translating to Postscript, etc.

Not sure how you'd do it with Windows or if you can send pdfs directly 
to the printer.
