[Gvsig_english] printing...

[Manuel Madrid]

Hi Wolfgang an all.

First of all congratulations about the job all of you are doing 
regarding compiling possible new features for gvSIG printing and 
promoting its development.

As you said, no improvements are expected on this area in gvSIG 2.0. 
However we are preparing a list with all the bugs and feature requests 
detected by us. We'll give it to you.

Once you have the definitive list maybe we could help you to estimate 
the cost of the development.

Regards,
Manuel.
