Ok, great!  The major remaining issues as I see them are:

o What to do with Settings 
o Different icons for local printers/print to file?  Toss icons 
  entirely?
o Handling print to file better?

Anything else?

In terms of API?  There is the GPAState element, and three new methods
on GPAPrinter: gpa_printer_set_polling and 
gpa_printer_get_state{,_by_id}.

But in terms of the overall approach and implementation (making the
printer list dynamic and showing state), the libgnomeprintui patch
depends on pretty much all of the libgnomeprint patch.
