Well, the best document to get started is the 'Tutorial of Oz' in the
Mozart Documentation page (http://www.mozart-oz.org/documentation/).

After you learn the basics, where you go depends on where you want to
get (as the Cat says in Alice): constraints, distribution, natural
language, ...  I suggest you browse the Mozart Documentation page.

There is a Mozart book in the works, but it's still far from being
finished.

I'm not sure what you mean.  For text, the usual way is to create a text file
and send it to the printer.  For graphics, Tk provides the ability to create
a PostScript file from a canvas -- Donatien Grolaux can tell you more about
this (ned at info.ucl.ac.be).
