OK, but why this needs to be two different commands in the UI? Or at least, why both are present on my win xp?
Incase you want to use the PS print... I can't see much use for it now that we've got the output extension for postscript.
Do you mean users will need to save as PS and then print the PS file? Why can't this be done directly?
Also, do we really need to use the "command specific to installation"? What advantages does it give us? And how it actually works - what does it get from Inkscape?
Well, the specific stuff gets us direct printing with things like the Windows print dialog. So, I think that's important.
OK, but what does it get from Inkscape - PS, bitmap, anything else? If (as I suspect) it's always bitmap, is it possible in principle to combine the native dialog with an _option_ to print via PS? Or PS printing on Windows does not work at all?
Sorry for probably stupid questions, I never used printing before...
