           Summary: KDEPrint should again get into sync with CUPS
                    developments and add support for all unsupported 1.1.x
                    features
           Product: kdeprint
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kde-print-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: pfeifle kde org


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    Unspecified
Compiler:          not relevant not relevant

KDEPrint in 3.5.3 still does not support some features introduced in CUPS 1.1.x revisions already some years ago. KDEPrint should support these at least in the first KDE4 release, and if possible backport the most important ones to future KDE 3.5.x or 3.6.x releases.

Details
-------
There are 15 currently unsupported cupsd.conf 1.1.x parameters in KDEPrint:

  - ConfigFilePerm
  - FaxRetryInterval
  - FaxRetryLimit
  - FileDevice
  - FilterNice
  - Include
  - LimitRequestBody
  - LogFilePerm
  - MaxClientsPerHost
  - MaxCopies
  - PrintcapGUI
  - ReloadTimeout
  - RootCertDuration
  - RunAsUser
  - ServerTokens

Users should be able to configure those along the currently supported ones when running "kaddprinterwizard --serverconfig". 

For an explanation of these cupsd.conf parameters, see 

   http://www.cups.org/doc-1.1/sam.html#7_4

I'll submit a separate bug report for features newly introduced in CUPS 1.2.0 which are also unsupported by current KDEPrint.
