Description Christian Damus CLA 2007-07-17 12:09:26 EDT 
Provide printing support on more platforms than just Windows, primarily Linux and Solaris (and Mac OS X would-be-nice).  A secondary goal is the resolution of several outstanding issues (listed as dependent bugs) in the user interaction with printing, basically as a side-effect of redesigning the printing architecture.

Initial Requirements:

R1. Support diagram printing on Linux/GTK platform.
R2. Support diagram printing on Solaris/GTK platform.
R3. Provide wysiwyg print-preview:  all printing options that are not implemented by the printer driver (such
    as N-up, contrast, etc.) must be previewable.

Design Goals:

G1. Use a pure-Java implementation where possible, according to SWT's platform printing support (no native code).

+1.

That would be a huge contribution. Thanks for working on it!
Comment 2 Artem Tikhomirov CLA 2007-07-17 13:20:14 EDT 
+1 to get rid of native code!

Committed the patch to HEAD.

A note that I asked James to add the new JRS printer as an action "Print (Experimental)"

So we have 
File + Print ==> windows only
File + Print (Experimental) ==> multiplatform support.

Once James completes the work, we can remove the windows only support.

This would be a good opportunity for Linux and Mac users out there to provide some early feedback.
