Till, I never said anything about scripts; I spoke about uses beyond the desktop. CUPS-PDF is meant as a printer. As with any other printer, the point is to make it accessible via CUPS. It is not meant to replace an application's ability to generate a PDF via the Desktop Environment's own services (gtkprint, gnomeprint, etc.). Thus, trying to make CUPS-PDF fit the paradigm of a Print dialog is completely the wrong approach. Besides, it's not an interim solution or a replacement for a unified cross-DE printing system. CUPS-PDF simply addresses a completely different need, in the first place.
