Hi, The GTK+ Print dialog by default create a cairo pdf surface regardless of printer's ability to handle it. While PDF is definitely the right direction, however, most printers available are still not quite there yet while print systems is capable of handling PostScript. So the patch essentially is to use a PS cairo surface to print preview instead of PDF.
There is also another good reason to do so is that none of the print backends, cups, lpr and papi all uses a PostScript surface to render print job. see attached patch.
