Well, I'm already using the PNG libraries to save files, so rather than
write my own PPM code (which I agree is insanely easy, I've done it for
some dynamic image generation on the web), I just decided to stick another
command in the chain.

How hard is it to write direct postscript?  Also, has anyone tried
setting printcommand to "kprinter" (or whatever that KDE print dialog is)?
