I will ask here before bugzilla'ing this.
Is the Gnome 'desktop-printing' package intended to be kde dependant? I ask because I am getting kdelibs, kdebase and the i18n-British packages installed, during my Gnome only installs. :(
It currently is using kprinter; there's some talk of it using qtcups instead.
The problem is that qtcups is no longer maintained AIUI, and all the other solutions in this area (display a print dialog) seem to have dependencies on things we don't ship (yet?).
If anyone knows a good, reasonably dependency-free, application to display a print dialog and send stdin to the selected printer, please speak up!

Hi,
If this dependency is to be broken - Which I hope it is! I have found another little problem you will need to deal with at that time. The 'xpdf' launcher icon is one which resides in kdebase:
/usr/share/icons/crystalsvg/48x48/apps/acroread.png
and thus if the 'desktop-printing' dependency is broken and 'kdebase' not installed, you will not get a launcher icon with xpdf under Gnome.
