My understanding is that rrsoftware does give source code to
purchasers of Claw (hard to do otherwise, since it is portable across
Ada compilers) but I don't know what the student price is. Last time
I looked, the free demo version did not include the printer package.
(Having worked on CLAW, I hope they get some money so I can afford
time to add to it in the future.)
The original question was about printing, though. If you know
enough of the Windows API to draw text and graphics in a screen
window, you are very nearly there to printing. You just need to do
your drawing to a printer, rather than screen window, "device
context", plus a little setup to account for which printer, and the
special characteristics of that printer, and handling end of page etc.
