Wow, thats some set of printer options :-)  Definately too long.

As I've said earlier, the dialog still needs polishing, and the options 
filtering looks to be one of those things needing work.  Cases like this will 
be a good test of the usability design.  I think the big problem is people 
will need to unlearn that those are tabs with fixed groups of settings, but 
rather filters that can be mixed and matched to produce dynamic results.
