new printer GUI

[Jelle de Jong]

Some feedback.

It would be nice to have a tool that can configure the printer. Like a 
layer above the pps files.

For example it is a pain in the ass to edit the margins of the paper 
that is used in xubuntu because cups doesn't have these options you have 
to edit the pps file manually without any documentation of what you are 
doing.

So a tool would be helpful indeed.
