Is it possible to programatically generate output with this, that can be
somehow 'pluged' into VFP9 preview/print engine ?

Now, VFP9 reporting engine can prepare (render) all pages in memory
before sending them to preview/print.

How is this 'preparation' done? Is it GDI+ that you re mentioning, and if it is, is it possible to obtain somehow full set of those GDI+ calls /functions that can be used for generating printable output?

If this is possible in VFP9 then my VFP wishlist item here is
obsolete :))
