OpenPrinting in conjunction with Peter Skilling (Peter is also the person who 
is working with GIMP on it's UI) has a nice printing UI designed as part of 
it's Common Printing Dialog project.  Unfortunately work on the CPD is at a 
standstill because of funding short falls. 

CPD, CUPS and Oyranos/colord need to be considered as a whole since these need 
to integrate with each other in order to provide a seamless printing 
environment. 

As a side note the CPD also uses DBus.
