Well, some (not all) ideas off the top of my head:
- Squeak can produce postscript from Morphic. Not sure in what shape
that code is today though. Just look in the red halo icon (menu) under
copy & print.
- Squeak can always rather easily produce formats that external
applications can print. Two other ideas (than Lukas' SPDF) are say
Lout/TeX or HTML. Easiest approach would be to just use Squeak to
produce a file in such a format and then use FFI or OSProcess to fire up
an external program to produce the output.
