Yep, I'm already pretty familiar with libcairo and I'm a fan.

I've started looking at libgnomeprint and libgnomeprintui. I had 
guessed that the former allows printing without any gui while the

That would be OK if I could figure out how to do graphics. Text
is fine, but the (rather dumb) printer doesn't handle postscript
directly.
