Hello Daniel,

I am unfamiliar with the term "PDL wrapper". Your input would be
welcome to clarify this.

I fully accept that a PDF sent *directly* to a printer with a PDF
interpreter should be printed. Are you saying the GTK dialog is
using this technique? Is this from obervation with your IPP printer?

Regards,

Brian.
