I'm probably not one of those users ;-)
Here, I was only talking about the printer properties dialog. While
the same global UI concept (a tabbed view or whatever) can be used
for all kind of printers, the actual content is printer-specific
and/or driver-specific. I doubt you can go farer than a bare tree-view
if you want to keep a common UI for any printer.

But that's just my opinion (and it's most probably not shared).
