Sucks, eh?

Mind you neither each of kprinter and gscan2pdf are *applications*, each 
providing their own GUis, so the fact that Apple provide a print dialog that 
any made-for-Mac *application* can call (via Apple's Cocoa framework) does not 
mean Apple saw value in taking the trouble to make that callable form the 
command line. it is not as if it would be a standard *nix command, so we are 
really talking a *tiny* application that I was advised would take someone half 
a day (maybe a bit more) to code up and package.
