Plus, even more new gaps by -the recent CUPS 1.2 release (which added even more new features). - - - --------------------------- - In General: - --------------------------- -* a GUI to configure client.conf is missing [1.1] -* a GUI to configure snmp.conf is missing [1.2] -* a GUI to configure subscriptions.conf is missing [1.2] - -Other stuff that's new: - -- port monitor support [1.2] -- unique job IDs support [1.2] -- print a self test page (if driver supports CUPS command file format, - you can now print the printer's self-test page) [1.2] -- perform a self-cleaning of print heads (if driver supports CUPS - command file format, you can now clean print heads) [1.2] -- per-printer sharing support [1.2] -- per-printer error policy support [1.2] -- per-printer operation policy support [1.2] -- IPP notifications support [1.2] -- cupsd.conf environment variable support [1.2] -- driver interfaces support (CUPS 1.2 supports "driver interfaces" - which allow a driver to advertise the printers it supports and - automatically generate the PPD file as needed) [1.2] -- improved error handling support (CUPS 1.2 API provides convenience - functions to get full error message of last request) [1.2] -- improved "backchannel" support (CUPS 1.2 API provides backends and - filters with access to information sent back from a printer) [1.2] -- globalized PPD support [1.2] -- custom PPD option support [1.2] -- extended PPD API support (CUPS 1.2 PPD API got added new functions: - reading from CUPS files; localization of globalized PPD files; - emitting of arbitrary ranges of options; custom option support [like - passwords, passcodes, curves, integers, points, reals and strings]; - enhanced JCL support; and access to all options in a PPD file) [1.2] -- CUPS ICC profiles support [1.2] - - - -------------------------------- - More specifically: - -------------------------------- - -kprinter --------- - -* add support for "-U username somebody" (or, in a more IPP-conforming - syntax: "-o job-originating-username=username"). - -* add support for multilanguage PPD files - -* add support for other CUPS extensions re. PPD parameters; especially - important is support for handling custom PPD options! - - -kaddprinterwizard ------------------ - -* add support for IPv6 syntax when specifying or parsing network - addresses - -* add support for new "snmp" backend in CUPS 1.2. - - The snmp backend can auto-discover most printer types which are - attached to the LAN with a NIC. For a sort of introduction to its - features see http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/2138/. - - To check it from the commandline, just run it without any parameter: - "/usr/lib/cups/backend/snmp" (Ubuntu Dapper users have it disabled - by default; just run "/usr/lib/cups/backend-available/snmp". If you - have network printers in your LAN, you'll likely see an output like - - network ipp://10.162.2.92:631/ipp "Ricoh IPP Printer v2.0" "Ricoh IPP Printer v2.0 10.162.2.92" "" - network socket://10.162.2.93 "infotec ISC824" "infotec ISC824 10.162.2.93" "" - network lpd://10.162.2.94/passthru "Canon iR5000-6000" "Canon iR5000-6000 10.162.2.94" "" - - kaddprintwizard should be able to parse the CUPS snmp backend's - output for adding the auto-discovered network printers to the - local setup. - -* add support for the following parameters in printers.conf (which - where newly added in CUPS 1.2.0): - - ErrorPolicy - - OpPolicy - - Option - - PortMonitor - - Shared - - StateTime - For information purposes: currently supported parameters are: - - Accepting - - AllowUser - - DenyUser - - DeviceURI - - Info - - JobSheets - - KLimit - - Location - - PageLimit - - QuotaPeriod - - State - - StateMessage - - - -kaddprinterwizard --kdeconfig ------------------------------ - -* add support for unix domain socket support (was added in CUPS 1.2.x) - - CUPS 1.2 newly introduced the option to communicate via "unix - domain sockets" for local cases (CUPS client and server on the - same host [=localhost]. That means, you can now have 2 types of - "Listen" directives (concurrently): - Listen localhost:631 - Listen /path/to/domain.sock.name - - Support for unix domain socket communication should be added at - "CUPS Server Settings" --> "Server information". - - -kaddprinterwizard --serverconfig --------------------------------- - -* Add support for currently unsupported cupsd.conf 1.1.x parameters. - All in all 15 unsupported parameters: - - ConfigFilePerm - - FaxRetryInterval - - FaxRetryLimit - - FileDevice - - FilterNice - - Include - - LimitRequestBody - - LogFilePerm - - MaxClientsPerHost - - MaxCopies - - PrintcapGUI - - ReloadTimeout - - RootCertDuration - - RunAsUser - - ServerTokens - -* add support for cupsd.conf parameters newly introduced in CUPS 1.2.0. - Note, "RunAsUser" is no longer supported in CUPS 1.2.x! - All in all about 18 new parameters (on top of the 15 unsupported ones - from CUPS 1.1.x): - - BrowseLDAPBindDN - - BrowseLDAPDN - - BrowseLDAPPassword - - BrowseLDAPServer - - BrowseLocalOptions - - BrowseLocalProtocols - - BrowseRemoteOptions - - BrowseRemoteProtocols - - DefaultEncryption - - DefaultPolicy - - DefaultShared - - JobRetryInterval - - JobRetryLimit - - PassEnv - - Policy - - SetEnv - - UseNetworkDefault - - -Complete list of 1.2.0 cupsd.conf directives --------------------------------------------- - -This is a complete list of all cupsd.conf parameters that may be -used in CUPS 1.2.x, alongside a listing if they are supported in -KDEPrint 3.5.3: - - - ++ = supported - -- = unsupported - - ------------+----------------------------------------------------- - Supported? | cupsd.conf directive - ------------+----------------------------------------------------- - ++ | AccessLog - ++ | Allow - ++ | AuthClass - ++ | AuthGroupName - ++ | AuthType - ++ | AutoPurgeJobs - ++ | BrowseAddress - ++ | BrowseAllow - ++ | BrowseDeny - ++ | BrowseInterval - -- (1.2) | BrowseLDAPBindDN - -- (1.2) | BrowseLDAPDN - -- (1.2) | BrowseLDAPPassword - -- (1.2) | BrowseLDAPServer - -- (1.2) | BrowseLocalOptions - -- (1.2) | BrowseLocalProtocols - ++ | BrowseOrder - ++ | BrowsePoll - ++ | BrowsePort - ++ | BrowseProtocols - ++ | BrowseRelay - ++ | BrowseRemoteOptions - ++ | BrowseRemoteProtocols - ++ | BrowseShortNames - ++ | BrowseTimeout - ++ | Browsing - ++ | Classification - ++ | ClassifyOverride - -- (1.1) | ConfigFilePerm - ++ | DataDir - ++ | DefaultAuthType - ++ | DefaultCharset - -- (1.2) | DefaultEncryption - ++ | DefaultLanguage - -- (1.2) | DefaultPolicy - -- (1.2) | DefaultShared - ++ | Deny - ++ | DocumentRoot - ++ | Encryption - ++ | ErrorLog - -- (1.1) | FileDevice - ++ | FilterLimit - -- (1.1) | FilterNice - ++ | FontPath - ++ | Group - ++ | HideImplicitMembers - ++ | HostNameLookups - ++ | ImplicitAnyClasses - ++ | ImplicitClasses - -- (1.1) | Include - -- (1.2) | JobRetryInterval # 1.1 had "FaxRetryInterval" - -- (1.2) | JobRetryLimit # 1.1 had "FaxRetryLimit" - ++ | KeepAlive - ++ | KeepAliveTimeout - ++ | Limit (Location) - ++ | Limit (Policy) - ++ | LimitExcept - -- (1.1) | LimitRequestBody - ++ | Listen - ++ | ListenBackLog - ++ | Location - -- (1.1) | LogFilePerm - ++ | LogLevel - ++ | MaxClients - -- (1.1) | MaxClientsPerHost - -- (1.1) | MaxCopies - ++ | MaxJobs - ++ | MaxJobsPerPrinter - ++ | MaxJobsPerUser - ++ | MaxLogSize - ++ | MaxRequestSize - ++ | Order - ++ | PageLog - ++ | PassEnv - -- (1.2) | Policy - ++ | Port - ++ | PreserveJobFiles - ++ | PreserveJobHistory - ++ | Printcap - ++ | PrintcapFormat - -- (1.1) | PrintcapGUI - -- (1.1) | ReloadTimeout - ++ | RemoteRoot - ++ | RequestRoot - ++ | Require - ++ | RIPCache - -- (1.1) | RootCertDuration - --(removed)| (RunAsUser) # present in 1.1 - ++ | Satisfy - ++ | ServerAdmin - ++ | ServerBin - ++ | ServerCertificate - ++ | ServerKey - ++ | ServerRoot - -- (1.1) | ServerTokens - ++ | SetEnv - -- (1.2) | SSLListen - ++ | SSLPort - ++ | SystemGroup - ++ | TempDir - ++ | Timeout - -- (1.2) | UseNetworkDefault - ++ | User - ------------+-----------------------------------------------------
