kprinter support of CUPS 1.2

[George Liu]

Michael,

 

Can you elaborate how kprinter support foomatic options (integer, float
and string)? 

 

I have Mandriva LE 2005 with KDE 3.3.2, Ot 3,3.4 and kprinter 0.0.1
(kprinter -v). 

 

I customized a PPD file that uses foomatic string option, and only from
XPP 1.5, I can specify arbitrary string input. Kprinter only shows a
list options. 

 

Thanks

George

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).

	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
