I'm just going to correct some things Till wrote that I would have said. It seems either I didn't explained correctly, or Till misunderstood my explanations (or probably a little of both) on what was the current state of printing on GNOME and why full PPD options were not in GNOME yet and why they probably would not go in it by just a snap of a finger but only after careful interface reviewing. Thus the original message was sent by Till on GNOME usability mailing list, to try to discuss how to improve GNOME printing UI. Thanks to Jeff, Alex and others, the real reasons on why GNOME printing UI is currently lacking full PPD support have been exposed. I'm still a little sad to see that a attempt to try to improve printing support in GNOME and in Firefox/Thunderbird (so, for Desktop on Linux in general) has been transformed into a gigantic flamewar for absolutely no good reason, except exhausting electrons for carrying those emails ;) Hopefully, things will be rolling in the good direction in the future, with the Printing summit and each project initiatives. -- Frederic Crozat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mandriva
