PrintFile, PrintFileInterface

This class does the printing work.  It takes the model requested to print, the page
orientation, the print medium, the title, the footer, the report date, and possibly
disclaimer and filename for printing.

It then initializes everything and prints on the specified graphics context which could be
a printer device or file.  Basically you just call PrintFileInterface from your desired
window to print and let it set up everything for printing....then we do all of the work
for printing the desired results.
