Well, gnome currently have an printing api going, but if you don't want to
use that the normal way is to generate postscript.
If you're working on a GPL project you can use some code from by program
'Dia' (it's in the gnome cvs tree). It has an abstract 'Renderer' interface
with one implementation that draw to gtk-pixmaps/drawingareas and one that
generates postscript files. Other renderers can easily be written and plugged
in.
