Just to say that, before switching to online printing, I used to use Photoprint which goes way beyond basic printing offering raster print and output resolution sharpening. Alistair, the author, was also friendly and helpful when I corresponded briefly with him.

Photoprint could be a good starting point: http://blackfiveimaging.co.uk/index.php?article=02Software%2F01PhotoPrint It does the basics pretty well: - Basic layout ability (margins, several images per page, etc) - Applies ICC profiles to printers (including calculating a printer output hash to make sure the profile still applies to the driver version and printing settings) - Works with Gutenprint for high quality photo printing It hasn't been updated in a while. It's a GTK app written in C++. It's also GPLv2, so code from it possibly can't be integrated as is. Maybe the author would relicense it.
