Hi Marcel,

Sounds about right. Has PS/PDF/printed output been removed completely or is there an alternative?
Postscript printing is supported. Any morph can be saved to Postscript or EPS file for printing. I don't know much about this topic, but the classes supporting Postscript output are in category 'MorphicExtras-Postscript Canvases', and they don't appear to have any connection with the encoder classes in 'MorphicExtras-Postscript Filters'.
Are there any external packages outside of the Squeak image itself that make use of these encoders and expect them to be in the image?
Thanks! Dave

These methods are apparently by Marcel Weiher (MPW) and are probably related to Postscript encoding, see MorphicExtras-Postscript Filters.
None of this (including the Postscript encoding) is used in Squeak now, and I don't see any usage as far back as Squeak 3.6 either.
Maybe someone can remember what this was used for? Otherwise, I can't see anything wrong with removing all implementers of #printOnStream: as well as the entire category "MorphicExtras-Postscript Filters" and the test method IntegerTest>>testIntegerByteEncoded.
