Thanks for the report.

I also checked C++ apps and it looks like using "vtkHybrid vtkWidgets" libraries is a minimum requirement for C++ apps and it pulls gl2ps. So indeed gl2ps looks like a hard requirement.

Are there any cases when vtk is usable without gl2ps (e.g. other languages)?

Submitted to SVN as part of 150039 revision. Will be available with the next VTK build.
