Thanks Sebastien, let me know how you go. I'm happy to make changes, improve the testing app, and write any documentation needed for the api guide etc. I just find it hard to contact the devs as I'm in the Australian timezone. Also the people I have spoken to said that not many devs are willing to make changes to printing module as its a dark corner not many GTK devs are willing to touch.

When you select this printer, the output file's suggested name is "output.pdf" and the suggested location is the user's home directory. "output" is jargon, has the potential to collide with another file of the same name in the destination directory, and is difficult to remember as it has no relation to the name of the file being printed. Incorporating the source file's name in the output filename seems like a great improvement. Saving to the user's home directory is reasonable, but the Desktop is a more accessible location. We may also want to consider saving the PDF to the same directory as the source file. Suggestion: * Always default to PDF format. * Reuse the source filename if known, else use "Untitled" or the naming convention for unnamed files. * Default to saving on the Desktop rather than inside the user's home folder.
