The current printer dialog of GNOME applications (is this
supplied by gnome-print?) is only usable for printer
that do not have any important settings (mostly PostScript
laser printers). Colour printers have many settings, most
importantly print quality and paper type. These are all
configurable via CUPS. But the GNOME print dialog only
shows some standard options. Of course the options can
be set globally using system-config-printer, which is
not acceptable for such a task, which is independent of
the system settings.
After all cups is standard in most Linux distrbutions
for quite a long time, a KDE *does* allow advanced
settings (even if the dialog is not very well done).
Are there plans by the Fedora Core development team to
change this?
GTK+ 2.10 will have printing support. You can check out the
current state of affairs in the gtk-printing branch in cvs.
