The draft is at http://www.levien.com/gnome/print-arch.html . I have no
problems with the document being widely distributed, although some parts
will need to be revised slightly (for example, it's currently not
possible to use text as a clip path). Also, some of the sections are
fairly vague.

Also please look at the gnome-print code. The latest release is at
http://www.levien.com/gnome/gnome-print-0.0.1.tar.gz . I will be
checking it into CVS as soon as it's clear where it should go.

Indeed:) From the sound of it, the paper-select widget should fit
fairly nicely into gnome-print.
