Someone has written a small piece of postscript called "distillPS".
This code rebinds the low-level postscript primitives (like moveto and
line) on the printer to stub primitives which just output the
primitive itself (back to the downloading program).  Thus, all the
loops, variables, re-bindings, transforms, etc. are eliminated when
you download your program to print, and "DistillPS" in turn uploads a
simple static postscript program suitable for display on the most
stupid and memory-limited of postscript printers.

It would not be hard to translate the result into any other picture
language (i.e. PICT or Impress or whatever) since this program
distills out all the junk ("stripped" does not accurately describe the
process). 

You need is a printer with REAL postscript to run the distill program,
however, the NeXT seems to qualify.
