There is no simple solution at the moment to print a Gnome Canvas
object. Unfortunately, the solution is effectively to use gnome-print
directives to redraw everything.
Some time ago, I have made some work to solve this problem for my own
project. I can print nearly everything except texts (I hope this will
come soon), but then, I don't know if the patch will be included in
libgnomecanvas; this point has already been discussed and no general
agreement was found. I'll come back to this when everything will work.
In the meanwhile, I'll probably use a patched canvas statically linked
in my applications.
If somebody is interested in testing what I did, I can make available a
preliminary version of the patch.

Best regards,
