Title:
  GIMP: Embed page setup dialog functionality in the print dialog

Status in The GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP):
  Confirmed
Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  In Progress
Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gimp

  There is a possibility of embedding the paper size combo and orientation
  combo in the print dialog since Gtk+ 2.17.4. It is activated by calling the
  gtk_print_operation_set_embed_page_setup() function.

  It would be nice to have this feature also in the GIMP, as photos do not have an
  absolute size. You select the print size of a photo only when you actually
  print it and photos are often printed on sizes which are not the standard size
  of the printer (4x6 inches/10x15 cm). So the page size and orientation should
  be easily accessable during the printing action, which means that they are best
  placed in the printing dialog.

  To implement this one only needs a small patch doing the following
  things:

   - Remove the "Page Setup" menu entries (and toolbar buttons)
   - Remove call-back functions to open the "Page Setup" dialog
   - Add call of gtk_print_operation_set_embed_page_setup() function to
     initialization of print dialog
   - Add calls to load page setup setting on print dialog initialization and
     save them on OK/Print/Apply in print dialog (to remember next print dialog
     call or even next session).
