2) Nestor, thanks for initiating discussion with the Inkscape folks.
Your answers were accurate. Can you continue to be the interface
point, at least until I'm back?

They are very busy featuring freezeing and bug hunting for next
release 0.39. Maybe better wait.

Sure.

Gutenprint everybody?

My database request for having an easy and comprenhensive search
method for future or already users. You mean dumping from the
applications database to a SQL command?

What I'm thinking is that all of the printers that we know about
should be accessible via the menus in the GIMP plugin or CUPS or
Foomatic. This does, of course, mean PPD file bloat.
