I've just written (and somehow translated into English) a document where
I tried to explain my ways of gschem printing.
Look at vzhbanov.byethost33.com/geda/printall (and
vzhbanov.byethost33.com/geda/printall.ru for the Russian version, this
is for the case if Russian users will read this post).
Translation is probably not so clear since I have very limited time and
skills in English to do it well now (if it will be useful for someone I
can place some pieces of it into gEDA wiki; anyway any help would be
very appreciated).
It contains a description of EPS creating, scripts and Makefiles which
you may use to make then pictures using ImageMagick's tool 'convert'
something like 'convert my.eps my.png' (there is a link there to the
page with example symbol pictures).
Just download files from there, change them a bit (replace schematic
file names by yours) and try out how they work.
