If you’re fine with cloud apps.

Workflowy (requires registration) hover on the right button and export. Also supports cloning

Text 2 Mindmap (no registration) PDF and PNG only

This is clunky but you get a truer boiler plate: http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/TheFormLetterMachine/

If you want to permanently move away from NoteMap though, I don’t know of a decent alternative but the character styles for this program makes it my preferred Windows freeware for just copy pasting text and turning it into an outline. Be warned though, I don’t really print many outlines and I have no idea if you need multiple fonts which as the link says it only supports one: http://www.yeahwrite.com/about.shtml

If you are not familiar with the Hipster PDA, it may be worth checking out. This is the opposite of printing a branch. Instead you print a fill-up form and then fill them with text:
