To this effect, here are the mockups I made at the Boston GNOME Summit 
to point out some of the directions I/we were hoping to go with a GTK 
print dialog.

Many things missing here... showing printer wait estimates, drop-down 
for saved settings if you have some, searchable chooser for networks 
with many printers, per-application custom controls, etc.

I don't think anything here precludes more advanced PPD settings, but I 
think grouping the most common settings in a simpler, logical layout 
makes sense.
