A NEW PRINTER ADMINISTRATION TOOL
=================================
2.4. Modifying PPD options
---------------------
The new printer administration tool will be responsible for providing
a graphical interface for changing default queue options. These are
options such as duplexing, page size, and print quality. All of these
options are stored in the PPD file representing the queue, and this is
modified by the CUPS daemon when it receives the IPP request to do so.
Maybe too early for specific feature requests, but here goes:
Certain newer printers can print PDF natively. To do so requires the
following added to the PPD:
*cupsFilter: "application/pdf 0 -"
I'm still not sure how useful this is (brand new printer for us), but
should be configurable from the admin interface.
