   Thanks,  a very good idea. I'm building 5.2.0-beta4 and the closest I can  
   find is src/gimp2/print.c , sadly I don't find anything that matches the  
   snippet you posted. What function is it in?

You don't need to do any of this any more; as of 5.0, the menu item is
"Print with Gutenprint" (if GIMP 2.4 or above is in use) to
distinguish it from the GTKPrint plugin bundled with GIMP.
