That's one good way to do it. Another way would be to give my new PostScript
renderer a try, which would produce EPS you can import into another document for
printing.[1]

It's not perfect yet by any means (lots of rules need to be added) but looks
pretty good for most stuff IMHO. If you do give this a try I'd be interested in
any bugs you get (especially importing into other documents and printing them).

Thanks,
