But with a .ui file you get _dynamics_. And no, I don't do a mpg for you
:-)

It's essentially a mixture of the std print dialog and the one kdvi
uses. I've added an even/odd page selection, but that's it (oh, I forgot
an option for 'print duplex if available'). What I find incredibly
useful is to be able to specify a print command like "psnup -2 | rsh
remotehost lpr" with the stdout of that command being displayed in a
dialog box (like netscape does) after it has finished.

Um, can you expect everyone to use cups for printing? What about other
Unices? But maybe I'm ignorant and don't know that kups handles lpd,
too?
