My suggestion: Common Printing Dialog API -> CPDAPI (with the D, to not 
have Common Printing API).

Common Printing Dialog API is a good name, as the pluggable dialog 
concept is for having one and the same printing dialog for all apps, 
independent whether the user or the distro opts for the OpenUsability 
dialog or any other one.

Hi Till,

Agreed - CPDAPI is better to avoid confusion (semantically) with PAPI.

Cheers,
- Ira
