Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 134170
Advanced features such as stapling & holepunch needed in libgnomeprintui

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040809 Epiphany/1.3.8 Description of problem: This is simply an RFE for the gnome printing dialogue. It seems to me that this dialogue should support most, if not all, of the same options that "lp" supports on the commandline. Specifically, I'm currently looking for the Stapling and HolePunch options. They work beautifully via "lp", so I don't imagine this is difficult to implement. Also, OpenOffice.org has a print dialogue which handles these options. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libgnomeprintui22-2.7.1-7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: not really applicable... this is an RFE, not a bug... but if you really want... 1. Launch a Gnome app such as Evolution 2. Click the print icon Actual Results: Stapling and Hole Punch options are nowhere to be found. Expected Results: Stapling and Hole Punch options should be available for individual print jobs. Additional info: As a side note, it would be really nice to see a standard print dialogue across all GNOME apps, at a minimum. If epiphany and OpenOffice.org both used the standard dialogue, that would be a start; of course, the OOo setup is currently more full-featured than this one, hence this RFE.
Filed upstream as: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154196 The plan is definitely to get openoffice and the browsers using the libgnomeprint interface.
Filing upstream for gnome print stuff generally doesn't seem to work too good - I think the whole area is rather underestimated. I even havn't been able to find a active mailing list to discuss this stuff... Is there any progress made somewhere when it comes to gnome-print and if yes, where can it be tracked?
