You might also want to take a look at the OpenSolaris Presto project,
which is the next gen printing project for Solaris-- doesn't radically
change the existing print dialog (mainly because we don't have any
direct control over it and want to maintain as few patches as possible),
but adds a couple of interesting new bits here and there.

(Actually the UI Concept document there is a little out of date, not to
mention incomplete, but the general gist of it is there...)

Cheeri,
