Yep, it's part of the GTK toolkit, so if atril maintainers wanted to
add a "print current view" option (so that I could ditch acroread),
I'm guessing it would be a fair bit of work: they'd probably have to
roll their own printer dialog from scratch instead of using the canned
one. :/

[Actually, I don't recall ever using evince or atril for filling out
PDF forms -- so that might be another reason I'd have to keep acroread
around.]
