I should point out that one of gnome-print strenghts is that it would
use libart_lgpl to provide the high level rasterization engine (this
is the same engine used in the anti-aliased canvas engine that you can
see in action gnome-libs/test-gnome/test-gnome).
So drivers to specific printers will be pluggable without having to go
trough Postscript.
