Make slider to set what percentage of printed puzzles are what difficulty

When printing you can only choose what puzzles are to be generated (easy, medium, hard etc). It would be nice to choose the percentages of difficulties, e.g. 0% easy, 25% medium, 75% hard. This could be acomplished with a percentage slider bar, e.g.: +-----+------------------+------------+ | EASY | MEDIUM | HARD | +-----+------------------+------------+ /\ slide these bars
New mockup for this dialog: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/e807c525e86729c5ea2b77f371cb012a9c019142/games/sudoku/sudoku-wireframes.png It's clearly much simpler than what you're proposing; in particular, it only allows printing one difficulty at a time. I think I favor the simple approach.
With the new design, the idea is to keep things simple and prioritise cases where people are interested in one difficulty level. If someone wants to print puzzles of multiple difficulties, they can run through the dialog a couple of times. I find it hard to imagine people being interested in more than a couple of difficulty levels.
