IDLE prints to default printer with function print_window in 
idlelib/IOBinding.py.  The two GetOption calls return these two strings 
(from config-main.def).

For print-command-posix, 'lpr %s'
For print-command-win, 'start /min notepad /p %s'

You should be able to adapt to your needs.  Perhaps you do not need the 
messageboxes.
