Of course it is. However, even a PDA could theoretically connect to a network printer over wifi or bluetooth. It probably makes more sense to send just some meta-data, PDF or PostScript though and do away with the cups libraries. It's a complex issue and will involve considerable reworking of the libraries upstream, so don't expect anything in gtk2 - maybe not until later in gtk3. > I thought the idea was to > compartmentalize these things for more streamlined dependency management.
