Re: Deprecation of libgnomeprint(ui)

[gheet <Ghee Teo Sun COM>]

Hi,

   It is great to raise this at the point of time!

   I am looking at doing a PAPI (Printing API) backend for gtk+ as GTK+ 
2.10 has CUPS, file and lpr while currently libgnomeprint does have 
cups, lpd, papi and win32 backends.

   Is there some one specific on the GTK+ team or others should I talk 
to about this? I really need some specific guidance here :). [1]

  Thanks,

-Ghee

[1] I do have Norm Jacobs here in Sun who is working of the PAPI 
standard for PAPI side of things which is great :)
