Hi Jeremias,

I'm also quite interested in SVG Print. I haven't see much energy behind
the idea recently, though. IMO the two year old working draft would
still need a few improvements. I don't know about any printer
manufacturers supporting SVG though I think Canon is (or was) the
driving force behind this.
HP also made some non-trivial contributions.
With printers starting to support BlueTooth this might become more
interesting especially when printing from mobile devices.
Gosh I hope so, but everyone seems to be running down the
XHTML Print path which is ok for really dumb generators who just
want to get a page of text out but for anything with real
graphical content (or really anything with any structure to it)
XHTML/CSS Basic is a total mine field (just look at the web).
It should be relatively easy to get SVG Print functionality into Batik
with indirect printing through PostScript as there is a PostScript
Transcoder available (coming from the FOP project). Otherwise, you can
simply print to JPS (Java Printing System) by letting Batik render the
SVG to a Graphics2D instance. The elements defined by SVGP should be
easy to add.
Yes adding print support to the transcoders should be fairly
trivial (mostly just a matter of adding a loop and 'faking' an
appropriate SVG element for the page in question). Adding it to
Squiggle (the browser) would be a bit tricker, as you would probably
want the ability to show thumbnails and traverse links etc...
Still I don't think it would be a huge task, it strikes me as
a sort of Collage 'Final Project' type thing - about a semesters
worth of work.
Anyway, SVGP is mostly a hobby for me...
Yes.

Do you know if some printer manufacturers plan to
implement SVGP for their printers either natively or
indirectly (something like SVG -> Postscript ->
print)?
