Is it possible to print using PD? (I mean, to a printer. not the [print] object 
What I'd really like to do is be able to create images in GEM and then print them out ... possible?

A way opther than snapping a screenshot and printing it using some other software?

it is possible to capture where geos are in 3D Gem-space using [gemlist_info]. Then you could use a scripting external such as pdlua or pyext to convert this information into (2D) SVG or PostScript. It's a lot of work, but I'm planning on doing something like this at some point - I already got a special case working (squares in 2D) which uses Gem as preview, exported to a textfile for GraphGrow-Engine to render.
Here's a blog post about that with Gem screenshot: http://claudiusmaximus.goto10.org/cm/2008-03-23_graphgrow_realtime_preview.html
and some more related stuff here:

thanks - yeah, I wanted it to be from within Pd, to be automated for an installation. In this case the things to print don't actually HAVE to be generated from within Pd, so we're gonna have them as premade files and then use [shell] and lpr to do it.
