I've spent a while figuring out how to print a document in Rust using native dialogs. In case anyone else has been trying, the best method I found was using fltk and something like this:

let app = app::App::default();
    let mut wind = Window::default();
    wind.end();
    wind.show();
    wind.hide();

    let mut printer = printer::Printer::default();
    if printer.begin_job(1).is_ok() {
        printer.begin_page().ok();
        let (width, height) = printer.printable_rect();

        // Thing to print goes here        

        printer.set_origin(width / 2, height / 2);
        printer.end_page().ok();
        printer.end_job();
    }

    app.run().unwrap();

Hope this helps someone out, and if there's a better way to do this, I'd love to hear about it in the comments of this post.
