+1, thing is it requires at least half a day to set this up (database,
mapnik, download + import data) and get it all running, especially if you
haven't done it before. There are lots of potential problems involved and
the stack might be currently broken on your OS (at least this is what I
experienced on OSX with homebrew, where python bindings (required for nik4)
are available only for mapnik 2.2. but it doesn't compile)).

if you're on windows you can use mapertive, on Ubuntu I guess mapnik will
install easier, but with MapOSMatic (using a working deployment on someone
else's system) you could have a print in a few minutes, or similar with the
bigmap script (in screen resolution).
