Not trying to take this too far away, but it might be easier even then to
output HTML, and either use an html2ps converter, or another filter. i've
played with both HTML and PS, and HTML is the "quicker" way to write
output just because it is more intuitive (for me at least...).

Another thing is if you wanted to do it with the windows instead, Imlib
might help. I'm not sure (might be talking out of my a$$), but each widget
is a drawable, which can be referred to as an image, correct? now, is the
drawable only what is currently visible? or the entire widget? if it is
the entire widget (even if part of it is hidden, let's say it's in a
scrolled window), would it be possible to take the widget's drawable, save
as an image, and send to the printer? or would that be overkill :P

just trying to throw in some ideas :)
