I've been trying to figure out what plans are afoot for GnomePrint.
After a whole lot of research, it looks like the plan is to replace the
current API with a pango-enabled Cairo API.

Unfortunately, this places me in a bit of bind. It sure looks like the
best way to future-proof my application is to use PyCairo to generate a
PDF file, and use the GnomePrint set_file API for printing and print
preview (this is what Evince is doing).  However, this API appears to be
disabled in python-gnome-extras.

I haven;t been following CVS HEAD lately; can anyone confirm if this is
still the plan? Assuming it is, is there any reason to withhold the
set_file API? It may be marked unstable, but at this point it looks like
the entire GnomePrint API is going to be deprecated anyway, so having it
will just make our lives a little easier during the transition.
