(let me make sure that too). Yep > evince uses poppler for pdf, and that cairo as backends. Mine for text is here: http://efax-gtk.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/efax-gtk/efax-gtk/src/utils/text_print_manager.h http://efax-gtk.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/efax-gtk/efax-gtk/src/utils/text_print_manager.cpp The guts of it are similar to yours, although it has more twiddly bits. I do not know anything about OLPC/sugar, so I do not completely understand all your comments about evince, since evince is a postscript/pdf display application, rather than a library. The libraries it uses are as I recall, although it is some time since I looked, poppler, libspectre and libgs. If evince is the main display application for sugar, though, then it already comes equipped with printing via gtk-print, for which purpose it uses poppler/cairo and in recent versions libspectre/cairo (I think).
