Trouble is that is has a totally separate rendering system. The GUI is trivial. I might still have that code. But what needs to happen is that basically all the PS rendering we do needs to be duplicated with gnome-print functions. And there are a few things that do not translate well where the PS renderer just outputs magic PS phrases that don't have good one-to-one relations with any gnome-print functions.
I tried to short-cut it by feeding gnome-print the already-generated PS output, and while that worked for just _printing_, it didn't work for PDF generation or previewing, which is why I wanted to get gnome-print in there to begin with, so I dropped it.
So, were you trying to use the Postscript output and put it into GNOME-Print? I thought that the printing stuff was sufficiently abstracted into Inkscape::Extension::Print? Is that getting passed Postscript data?
Hmmm, printing may be in a worse situation than I thought :(
