kprinter support of CUPS 1.2

[George Liu]

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)

 

CUPS will have extended PPD support from 1.2. I copied some part of
cups/cups/sample.ppd from cups weekly build r4547.

 

Is it possible for kprinter to support those CUPS PPD extentions? We do
have a lot of Linux users craving to have all features that are
supported by Windows. 

 

Thanks

George
