Well, of course one would not just use the printed patches alone, they
would function as illustrations for an explaining text(book). For
example Miller would have finished the illustrations for his book much
faster, if he would have been able to just print a whole directory of
patches with one command to ps-files to include in the LaTeX sources.

Also for articles in print magazines or on websites (like
obiwannabe.co.uk) it would make things much easier to have a quick way
to do several screenshots in one go. And articles make Pd popular
among more people, so that's an important thing.
