The status of the fltk/OpenGL backend as far as I know is consistent
with your observation: printing is not yet implemented - it is (was?)
planned to be done using the gl2ps library (actually consisting of one
c-file and one h-file). 

I just looked up the gl2ps stuff.  It is  standard in Fedora 11 and
I just installed it.  I looked quickly at the Manual and it looks pretty
straightforward.

So, unless you would rather do this yourself, could you very
briefly indicate where to start in the Octave code?

Earlier today I was working on some stuff with a number of
plots (and subplots).  I tried them with backend("fltk") and the plots
are all obviously better than the current development gnuplot-based
results.  This reinforces my view that it would be very helpful to
get this working.  Printing appears to be the main problem.
