Here's my issue. I've got a Tk notebook with several tabs and a grand total of around 700 label and entry widgets that I want to use to generate a page for printing. If possible, I'd like to dump each tab of the notebook to a page as is. This program will be used on both Windows and Linux, so the solution I would prefer would be to create a file of some sort and then hand it over to the OS to take care of rather than trying to deal with the differences in the printing systems in the script itself.

I've googled around a bit and found snippets that dump individual widgets to postscript files, but what would be the best way to go about dumping a whole notebook like this?
