BUGS
----
- Administration of remote printers: driver settings
- Allow to view a set of specified printers in the job viewer
(instead of "one or all").
WISHES
------
- Implement a generic banner behavior: banners would be insrted
as standard print file before and/or after the actual file. This
would allow for KDE-specific banners and translated banners.
- Possibility to specify a different input slot for first page???
- add "Subject" or "Regarding" to kdeprintfax interface: look first
if this is possible in efax and/or hylafax
- add the possibility to view a printjob file (if possible)
- restarting server: use of "ps" in a subshell to get the pid, possibility
of authentification (put this into separate program that would restart
itself using kdesu).
- CUPS: a "Printer/Server Debugging Helper" would be nice: you could
vary the LogLevel there, restart the server, provide a viewer
for the error_log (maybe the other logs too) with life updates
including means to "grep" for errors and keywords. It could even
become extended to provide for some automatic reporting tool that
collects the data to be send in for bug reports (like PPD in use,
CUPS version, KDEPrint version, printer-make-and-modell, usage
of foomatic/cupsomatic, ghostscript version etc.). -kp-
- log viewer: page_log, error_log, ... This could be based on XML
templates and produce printable HTML reports.
- in CUPS possibility to filter printer using printer-type attribute,
to get only printers having a specified capability. Service Location
Protocol might be useful here (perhaps via the Knot).
- show information from Foomatic DB in some way (comments)
- "Save as new instance" possibility in the print dialog
- raw printing option
- add a generic option edit line to let the user specify any option
he wants
- support new options for N-up printing in CUPS, put everything in
a separate page with graphical widgets, and replace the N-up zone
of the "General" page with Color/GrayScale.
- allow to set the job title in kprinter
- preview multi files sequentially
- support for ICC (have a look at GS-7.05 that support ICC)

- accessing Fax settings from "Fax" printer configuration dialog??
- allow extracting PPD files from exe (like those from Adobe) using
the cabextract utility http://www.kyz.uklinux.net/cabextract.php3
- cupsaddsmb: allow downloading/extracting the Adobe PS driver package
using cabextract utility. Note: in cups-1.1.16, a free Windows
driver should be included, such that Adobe drivers won't be needed
anymore.
