ST does not require X and does not print itself. I have implemented a
simple demo using GD that uses ST to render text to PNG images without
ever touching X (it's available in the sample code directory of the ST
source distribution). There is nothing restricting a print engine using ST
from outputing PostScript, PCL or a raster file format - ST will support
both outline and bitmap output at any resolution you can specify.
