 Well, gnome currently have an printing api going, but if you don't want to 
use that the normal way is to generate postscript.

 If you're working on a GPL project you can use some code from by program 
'Dia' (it's in the gnome cvs tree). It has an abstract 'Renderer' interface 
with one  implementation that draw to gtk-pixmaps/drawingareas and one that 
generates postscript files. Other renderers can easily be written and plugged 
in.
