Some additional thoughts: The printing code as it is right now, can be
completely separated, so this will not bring much problems.  While we
cannot commit ourselves to not adding another gnome dependency in the
future, you can be sure that won't happen at least until 2.4 is released
;-)

(One more thing to note, despite the name libgnomeprint, the
dependencies of libgnomeprint 2.2 are right now: libart-2.0 glib-2.0
gmodule-2.0 gobject-2.0 libxml-2.0 pango.  What I'm trying to say here
is that with little effort you can get printing support. 
libgnomeprintui is not strictly needed.)
