           Summary: printer features not read properly from CUPS and not
                    saved permanently
           Product: kdeprint
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kde-print-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: danielstefanmader at web.de


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

The printer type and the available features are not properly parsed from the
CUPS settings. Instead, there is always a full list of supported features:
color & black and white, duplex, etc.

The expected behavior should be:
only the supported features of a printer are displayed, and the settings from
CUPS should be taken over.

Example: 

* an HP LaserJet 4050 with duplex unit should appear only as black and white
printer, and the double sided printing should default to the administrative
CUPS settings, in this case long-edge duplex.
* an HP Color LaserJet CP3505 with duplex unit should have both color and bw
option, with the default being color, plus long-edge duplex.

Additionally, the printer settings made by the user are not stored permanently:
i.e. setting the duplex and color mode settings correctly is not preserved, so
that that must be redone for every print job.
