On Windows, there are two dialogs involved in printing. The "Page Setup"
dialog for choosing papertype, margins, features like 2-up etc, and the
Print Dialog, where you can choose the printer, print quality, and other
features.
Due to the number of things you can set in both these dialogs, I think
the interface could be a function that takes a list of properties to use
for initialising the dialog, and returns a list of properties reflecting
the user's choices. If some options are not supported on some platforms,
they can just be ignored, or defaults returned.
