The standard Smalltalk-80 fileset includes a collection of file-ins for
printing to PostScript printers in the "printing" subdirectory.  One of
these file-in has a class method for class "Document", named
"doTest3".  Change "Form fromUser" to "Display" in "doTest3" to dump
the Smalltalk-80 window's contents (exclusive of the host window's
border and titlebar, if any) to a file that you name in a pop-up
prompter.

Version 2.5 also prints the screendump (in portrait orientation) to
your attached PostScript printer (I'm not sure that version 2.3 on Unix
actually spools to the printer).  Add a "document setLandscape." to
"doTest3" to print in landscape orientation.
