 Well. This is not strictly true. Only applications which have migrated 
over to use the
new GTK+ 2.10.x printing API has this. The list of GNOME apps I knew 
about todate
are evince, yelp, epiphany, and gimp. There may be other apps have 
adopted the new
printing API that I do not know off :) For example, I know gedit still 
uses lignomeprint
in GNOME 2.16.
