[Inkscape-devel] print and print direct

Does anyone has a slightest idea, or even a suggestion, of why we have these two commands on Windows but not on Linux? What is the difference?

This was recently discussed in this bug:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=604306&aid=979164&...

whose findings can be summarized as follows:

- Linux has the single Print command, it offers a choice between PS/bitmap printing, and it works (at least the PS printing works, I didn't test bitmap printing much).

- Windows has "Print" and "Print Direct". The former works but offers no PS/bitmap switch, and works only as a bitmap. The latter offers the switch but does not work :)

I think it's high time to do something about this mess.
