I have to admit to it being a good while since I looked at it, but I think
I need a little bit more than the printer name. Specifically, I need all the
stuff that can be configured in the GnomePrint UI - for instance the number
of copies. Dark in the recesses of memory is also a feeling the GTK Print
UI actually offers some unhelpful (meaning duplicative) stuff as well.

One thing GTK Print would be very useful for is reading paper sizes and
printable areas, which (as I'm sure you know) is not nice under GnomePrint.
