kprinter support of CUPS 1.2

[Goffioul Michael]

These kind of options were already supported by KDEPrint with Foomatic drivers (integer,
float and string option types). So basically, KDEPrint already contains the code to support
it, it just has to be adapted to the CUPS syntax (the needed changes are mainly located
in the PPD parser).

Subject: kprinter support of CUPS 1.2



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
