Inkscape.

Perhaps use it in conjunction with something like this.

vi (sometimes emacs) with gv. PostScript is a language for printer. However it is very high level language, I think.
Recently I started to use asymptote.

Haven't tried printing out yet but softprog (http://www.access-is.com/softprog.php) might do the trick.
