Is this at edit time or with a compiled app? And on what platform?

As I understand, the Mono libs which Unity uses don't support the GDI stuff that printing would need.

Actually, this is an old question, asked and answered. http://search.unity3d.com/uss1/?q=printing&type_of_search=answers&app=All

Thing is, if you have Pro anyway, you should be able to access DLL's. So I'm thinking if you have the right DLL(s) in your plugins folder, it should be possible. You may need to write a shell DLL to access the system DLL's I'm not sure.

A quick/dirty way around is to post pic to a server and print via web browser.
