libgnomeprint cups backend vs libgnomecups

Colin and I have been busy hacking the cups module in libgnomeprint to
make it use libgnomecups, which allows us to display and update printer
state information in the print dialog. 
We have made screenshots and patches available at
http://people.redhat.com/mclasen/libgnomeprint so that people can see
where we're heading. This certainly needs some more work, but we would
be interested in getting it upstream soon.
