We don't need to modify gnome-print-dialog, we need to add code to fetch
printers. See how the PDF & PS printers are fetched from XML files on
libgnomeprint head, we do the same but instead of fetching them from XML
files on disk, we query cups.

We will load modules for backends, so there is no need to add -lcups to
libgnomeprint, the modules will link to cups and we will g_module_open
them.
