Although I feel that a hardcopy of the data displayed should be application driven, I have had quite a few requests for PostScript output of the displayed table.

With a good working knowledge of PostScript (and the help of a big book!) I know that the implementation is quite feasible but am not sure it's warranted.

An alternative exists, and should be superior : use the X Printing system. In combination with the Motif printing API's, it should not be hard to print copies of Xbae to any type of printer, if the X Print Server has been correctly set up.
