Public bug reported:
I have tested Fedora Core Test 6 in these days and found they finally got
printing in gnome allmost right. You can easily control your printer's settings
about:
pages per sheet
color or monochrome
quality
plus the other usual stuff.
Also printing from openoffice.org seems much better there, with the same level
of functionality you get from other gnome applications.
Firefox still lags support for the new printing framework.

As of now in ubuntu you cannot easily control those stuff, you can't print a
pdf in multiple pages per sheet and you openoffice offer almost no control over
your printer.
I hope that the next Ubuntu release can fix printing in Gnome, perhaps using
the solution provided by Fedora. I'd really consider this a urgent issue, even
worth a few days delay.
Printing is really important for small/home office users and students
and Ubuntu must get it right. I had a lot of problems about printing and
so have had my mother and my girlfriend who are really prototypes of a
normal user. Printing is for me the most annoying bug Ubuntu has and so
far the only thing that makes my girlfriend seldom reboot in windows.
