Usually you don't get a print if you use white ink on white paper
or your drawing is outside the page or a clipping rectangle.
Both are easy to find out.

In case of "outside drawing":

- set the scales to millimetres at the beginning of the file and save the ctm (use gsave/grestore not to spoil your scales)

- re-define the processes that use moveto and lineto so that they
calculate the x y coords in millimetres, then define/update
x_min y_min x_max y_max with them (using transform, itransform and your saved ctm)

- at the end set the scales to millimeteres, convert x_min etc to strings, and plot them where they are surely visible.
