Yes - I realised that later, after I had posted the reply. Currently, 
our Postscript output is just ASCII + a few bits, I guess.

Well, if you aren't brothered too much about quality, then you could 
render the widget into an fl_offscreen then grab that into a PNG and 
then print that.

This is what I did when I had to print stuff before, and it works OK, 
albeit a bit blocky.
I contrived to make the offscreen context very large, then wrote 
everything out BIG to minimise the blockiness, then wrote the raw image 
data to a series of PNG files (one per page) with the DPI value set to a 
suitable lie.
The PNG's weren't even that big, since it was very compressible data - 
mostly flat background colour.


Well, you did ask...!
