Hi all!

I want to make script for printing into multipage tiff files, possible with g3 compression.

A came accross WebFax ( http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=15341)  for KDE that could do that with minor modification. So naturaly i try to find out what i have to do that this will work in gnome. I try to find out how is "GNOME-PDF-WRITER.xml " created and how can i use it for template but i don't have much luck.

Is there easy solution?

Could you help me with some advice? Maybe someone else could use that feature.

Thanks,
Jan

All GNOME printing work is now done within gtk. See
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/Printing.html.

I think (but I'm not sure) that they use cairo for actual rendering. You
would therefore need to write a tiff backend for cairo
(http://www.cairographics.org/).

  Well. This is not strictly true. Only applications which have migrated
over to use the
new GTK+ 2.10.x printing API has this. The list of GNOME apps I knew
about todate
are evince, yelp, epiphany, and gimp. There may be other apps have
adopted the new
printing API that I do not know off :) For example, I know gedit still
uses lignomeprint
in GNOME 2.16.

  The GTK+ printing does uses cairo for rendering.
