You can have a look at KPainter project in kdenonbeta. It is basicaly a 
QPainter compatibile painter that maps high level functions (drawLine) into 
postscript primitives (moveto, lineto, setlinewidth, stroke). Now only the 
libart backend is implemented. It would be fairly easy to implement most of 
postscript backend functions as they would propably be one-liners. The 
problem starts when it comes to font rendering (font embedding, encodings, 
own font class KFont is necessary+dialogs). Basicaly it needs some work and 
if you have time let me know.
