The Common Print Dialog Backends project provides a D-Bus interface so that the print dialogs of GUI applications and the communication with the print technologies (CUPS/IPP, Google Cloud Print, Save to File, …) are put into separate executables to be separately exchangeable.
The print dialogs of the different GUI toolkits and applications (GTK, Qt, LibreOffice, …) are the frontends and to communicate with the different print technologies they use common backends. This way one simply adds new backends for new print technologies and updates the backends for changes in the print technologies, and immediately all applications are up-to-date, without need of modifying the code of the GUI toolkits or applications.
This package contains the header files to develop print dialog backends using libcpdb-libs-backend.
