Perhaps users should be warned more explicitly. While you now can print
in landscape etc., if you "upgrade" to this version you will loose the
ability to set margins, specify header and footer information, print
repeated rows or columns and virtually anything else you used to set in
the old page-setup dialog.

These things will all return but have not yet been implemented using
gtkprint.
