That "-p" option didn't work for me:
> gschem -p -o johnson-p-4_12.ps -s print.scm johnson-p-4_12.sch
gschem: invalid option -- p

It works without this option (had to disable the color option in guile
file). I am using geda 20050820. I can see how this option is useful.
Invaluable if I am compiling a latex source without an X display.
