The only thing I can think of is something better for the printer model selection (I just wish I had a suggestion rather than just needing something better). If a user is connecting to a real printer then the obvious choice is to specify the real printer model. However, what should be specified if you connect to another print queue ... one on a "server" such as I believe that esr was trying to do. I believe that you want to specify a "raw" queue so that you only get the printer server actually driving the printer to do any convertion. That is not obvious. Neither is it obvious as to how to make this "better". > > Does anyone have good ideas about these points?

Yes, although you might want to put something on fedora-test-list and/or fedora-devel-list for more comments. On the whole, I believe you are addressing a lot of the issues. It might take a couple of versions to get this complete. -- Gene
