It is still functional though, right? What exactly would be the problems switching back to the internal printing code and which applications would be seriously affected by this?

The plan was to remove it for squeeze already and we definitely want to resp. are going to remove it for wheezy. That leaves around 6-7 months of development time until the prospective freeze starts. So we should definitely start any efforts as early as possible. >> Long term, wxwidgets should be updated to 2.9.x which provides printing >> support using GtkPrint. > > Note that 2.9.x is a development series, so probably unsuitable for packaging > (until it's declared stable of course). Do you know when such a stable release is planned? What are the plans regarding getting packages updated to 2.8 and removing 2.6?
