What do you think?
Please do as you have proposed. Maybe you can also merge the various *Utils* header and source files into a single header and source file; or into UI and non-UI related files?
I had not time to check dependencies between the source files. When you do the refactoring please try to break existing cyclic dependencies and avoid new ones :-) If it it makes sense you could also try to separate between functionality that concerns printer drivers, printer transport add-ons, print_server, the preferences application and common printing related things.
Moving libprint into src/libs/print sounds good, as long as it does not have any dependencies to internal API. This way printer driver developers could use it and would not depend on the internal API that could change in the future. Or maybe my assumption is wrong that src/libs is a place for 3rd party libraries only.
@Jovan: Please let us know if you have code that needs to be committed before the refactoring can take place.
thank you for your fast response :) Currently I'm trying to get the files into it's new place and adjust the build accordingly. I will look into merging and dependency checking afterwards. When it comes to libprint, i could not found anything obvious that depends on internal API. 

I will wait with committing the changes until Jovan responds.

Karsten
