Here is a general question about POVRay for windows - how do you print
the rendered image - I can only figure out how to print the source?

I find it easiest to use my browser as an image viewer, load the image,
then
tell it to print. I also use a GREAT image tool called LView

  You just cannot. POV-Ray is a raytracer, not a printing tool. Its function
is to read some text files, do quite a bit of calculations, and write an
image file. It intends to be portable, so it cannot afford to have to support
all the printers on all the operating systems available. Especially Windows,
which is not really easy to deal with. (I never tried it, but heard from
friends who spent three months understanding how programming under Windows
works. And we are in a computering school.)
  The solution to your problem is then: have an image viewer for Windows,
it probably will be able to print your images.
