Thanks Michael,
not exactly what I was looking for.
I am investigating how difficult is to write my own ps exporter,
based on the Canvas postscript source code.

maybe you could use tkimg to create a "screenshot" of the widget in
postscript format.
To enable tkimg's "window" handler once it's installed you just need to do
something like
root.tk.call('package', 'require', 'img::window')
early in your code.
IIRC by default tkimg's "window" handler will include only the visible
part of the widget, but here:
https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Img
George Petasis posted a recipe that seems to be able to capture the whole
contents of a canvas widget. I don't know how well this actually works
though and if it can be done with a Text widget in the same fashion.
Best regards
Michael
