Hi Everyone, I was just in the process of fixing a small problem with the parenting of the Print dialog to stop it sinking beneath the document window, and I noticed something that I don't quite understand.
What's supposed to be the difference between "Print" and "Print Direct"?
- because right now, in terms of code, the menu options do *extactly*
the same thing - that is show the print dialog, and allow you to print. Is Print Direct about to become a useful feature, or has something odd crept in here?
I have raised this issue before:

Now that we use Cairo, I think it's time to finally simplify this and always use just one PS cairo renderer for print. Or when available, cairo PDF or maybe even directly SVG when such a thing as SVG printer appears.
