Printing would be nice, but I'm not sure that we have anything
sufficiently standard to propose.

If I was going to throw anything up, it would certainly be CUPS, but I'm
honestly not sure it's ready.

That said, it seems to be the default for GNOME and KDE. Maybe once
Mozilla kicks Xprint to the curb, it can be the truly standard printing
solution. Next release, I suspect.
