On the other hand there is the "Common Printing Dialog", see https://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/commonpr... ... Maintaining a own print dialog per application is pretty hard. I know only of PhotoPrint and Scribus doing this properly. So it makes sense to share code and get features for free into applications.
Yes, this is why I do not understand why there is not much more interest in the Common Printing Dialog. I would expect a strong demand from the desktop projects and from various application projects to have a Common Printing Dialog. If there was a strong demand from various projects to have it, it would be at least much easier for Till Kamppeter to get it funded when there are no volunteers who implement it. Without strong and noticeable interest by various projects I have little hope that there will be a Common Printing Dialog. I am afraid that there is not yet enough suffering which could force the various projects to overcome their lone wolf behaviour.
