I was told that the Macintosh builds of Mozilla do not use the Mozilla routines to generate postscript, but they use Apple's. I'm not sure what's happening on Windows, but it appears to work the same way.
We're using REALbasic to build an application that relys on Mozilla's HTMLarea abilities to edit HTML pages. We cannot embed Mozilla into REALbasic, and the other HTML rendering engines aren't as nice as Mozilla. We're hoping to modify the version of Mozilla that we bundle with our application so that when the user Saves their changes, we write out both an HTML version of the page, and a PostScript version. We can embed the PostScript page into REALbasic, so the user sees an accurate rendering of their final output.
I've tried modifying some of the XUL pages, messing around with the printer settings and the printtofile options, but they seem to be ignored on the Mac. If the scripts that you mention can be called from an XUL file, could you shed some light as to wich ones would do the job?
It should be possible to script Mozilla from XUL to print for you. You would need to study the way printing is implemented in our XUL+Javascript UI.
