When I click on the "File" drop-down menu (top-left corner of the atril
window) and choose the "Print" item, I get a pop-up dialog widget that
lets me configure a bunch of settings before the document is sent to
the printer.  Included in those settings is "Print current page" (as
opposed to "Print all", or I can type in the page numbers to print).

I get exactly the same pop-up "Print" widget whether I'm printing from
atril, web browser, libreoffice,  or this email client (claws).

I've been seeing the same print widget for so many years I stopped
wondering which package installs it, but it's not part of any app that
lets me print things.  I think it's part of the gnome/mate/xfce/lxde
family of desktops because I use all of those and the printer widget is
always the same.  Must be a gtk thing because all of those desktops
install the same gtk infrastructure.

Can anyone else enlighten us on the printer widget I'm describing?
