   I wasn't familiar with PDQ, so I looked up its web page.  It seems
   like a nice system and I think I'll try it out.  With respect to
   gimp-print, since PDQ uses Ghostscript to render postscript, and
   since gimp-print has a Ghostscript driver manifestation, wouldn't
   the two already be able to work together?  Presumably, gimp-print
   could receive printer-specific options from PDQ in the form of 
   Ghostscript command line options. ??

Yes.  I've written pdq descriptions; they're in Ghost/gs-stp.pdq.

   I agree, it's not a big limitation at this point and functionality
   comes first.

OK.
