Yep, it's part of the GTK toolkit, so if atril maintainers wanted to add a "print current view" option (so that I could ditch acroread), I'm guessing it would be a fair bit of work: they'd probably have to roll their own printer dialog from scratch instead of using the canned one. :/ [Actually, I don't recall ever using evince or atril for filling out PDF forms -- so that might be another reason I'd have to keep acroread around.] -- Grant
