[Desktop12.04-Topic] Common Print Dialog

[Till Kamppeter]

Blueprint:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-maverick-common-printing-dialog

Printing out of desktop applications is done/managed by very many 
different dialogs, mostly depending on which GUI toolkit is used for an 
application. Some applications like OpenOffice.org have even their own 
dialogs. This is confusing the users a lot, having them to do the 
printing operation in many different ways. In addition, many dialogs are 
missing important features.

Finally we got the project of implementing the Common Print Dialog 
funded and so it will be turned reality in Ubuntu Precise.
