style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">There’re still printer features only available for
Windows, like ProofJob, UserCode, LockedPrint. The main reason is CUPS PPD
doesn’t provide a mechanism to allow arbitrary user input. (Kprinter did
provide a mechanism to write a printer UI plugin, but has many
limitations)</SPAN></FONT></P>

some part of cups/cups/sample.ppd from cups weekly build

are supported by Windows. </SPAN></FONT></P>
