Iīd favour a render-the-contents-of-the-window-to-paper-using-a-ps-subsystem
, perhaps now in a paper-oriented layout and not screen-oriented...

The results should be MUCH better, the mentioned 72dpi of the screen donīt
fit to the 300,600 or even 1200dpi a printer has got... (esp. the text would
be ugly or tiny - i assume)

Sadly, i donīt know of any PostScript rendering subsystems - Gnome is
working on a concept AFAIK (GnomePrinter ?)...

but appart from that - anyone?

HTH,
Tschö,
