Check for 'auth-info-required' attribute from printer attributes to
find out whether an authentization of user is needed.
Change password dialog of print backend to be able to require informations
requested thru 'auth-info-required' (#566522).
This patch tests availability of remote host before getting ppd file
for selected printer (#586207). It also adds a state message for
failure of getting details.
When a SIGPIPE signal is raised during printing with lpr,
application should not be killed by the signal but a standard
error-workflow should be performed (bug #503776).
Change default values returned by gtk_print_settings_get_printer_lpi()
and gtk_print_settings_get_resolution{_x, _y}(). New values are 150 for
lpi and 300 for resolution (instead of 0) (#590861).
Print when Enter pressed in Name entry or Command Line entry in the
print dialog (#564695).
Add gtk_printer_option_set_activates_default() function and
gtk_printer_option_get_activates_default() function to control
behaviour of GtkPrinterOptionWidget.
Add test for EISCONN error when testing whether a connection to CUPS server
is available (#576678 - patch by mark@ecs.vuw.ac.nz).

GtkPrintOperation is now able to render multiple pages per sheet by its
own. The most important changes are in these functions:
* increment_page_sequence
* prepare_data
* common_render_page
* print_pages_idle
Patch also changes set of choices for 2 pages per sheet mode when
landscape orientation is used to "Top to bottom" and "Bottom to top".
Adds authentication support of CUPS backend against CUPS server.
Print dialog is now capable to ask user for password and pass it
to the CUPS server. It is also possible to authenticate user
through Kerberos (GSS-API) (#384940).
