Here is a patch for the print plugin. The patch fixes an anoyance with the
print dialog: If you have lots of printers (we have about 50 here), it takes
*several minutes* to open. Fix: Just use lpstat -d -v (just list the names of
the printers instead of checking if they are enabled; the information is
discarded anyway). Later, when it becomes clear that we can use that info,
we can reenable it again (including some kind of caching and a progress
report which shows that Gimp is still doing something).
