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
