How many settings are you going to provide?  Is is just going to be
orientation (there could be up to 4 values, btw) and paper size?
Would you consider other common options such as monochrome/color,
copies, the paper tray, n-up, duplexing?  Once you start including
these, I was asking if you would have the ability of disabling features
if the printer driver does not support it.  You could also simulate
some of the features.

Also, are you going to pass the translated form names around?  If so,
then you would have problems printing from a German client to a
Japanese server if a metafile is printed (instead of printer specific
format).

Is the dialog going to be placed in the driver or in gnome-print-admin?

Thanks,
