Hello all,

I am Gaurav Guleria, a GSoC student, working with Till Kamppeter to add and improve Common Print Dialog (CPD) support to existing print dialogs like GTK and Qt. More about CPD can be read here: https://openprinting.github.io/projects/04-print-dialog/.

I wanted to ask about your opinions on the implementation and the way we should proceed with it. I talked with a few people and read this old article here: https://wiki.qt.io/Qt-5-QtPrint, which suggests the Qt team prefers CPD support as a plugin rather than a direct integration into the QPrintDialog.

Just to summarize briefly, implementing CPD support directly in the print dialog would mean that the Qt team wouldn't have to worry about any future CUPS changes, or any other print backends for that matter, as CPD will handle them all instead.

It would be really helpful if you could share your views on this and give your suggestions.

Thanks,

Gaurav
