Great idea! I hadn't thought of that. If you decide to look at the code,
please use the CVS version from the Gnome CVS server (module name is
"mozilla-bonobo").

I've been looking at print support in the meantime, and even though it
seems quite feasible, I've encountered quite a bit of problems.
Many browsers don't implement printing of plugins properly, and what's
worse, I haven't been able to actually print a bonobo component.
Apparently the necessary client code has vanished from Gnome. It used
to be in bonobo-1.0, but it's not present anymore in bonobo-2.0.
There also used to be some code in libgnomeprint-2.1, but it's been
removed from there too. So I'm stuck now, because I have no idea how
to get a component to print itself :(
