[STR Closed w/o Resolution]

Sorry, CUPS does not currently support arbitrary typing of third-party
attributes. This is a deliberate design choice since the low-level
interface with drivers is the old System V command-line (string)
interface.

In the future we *may* provide some configurability for this, but right
now we just manage the standard IPP attributes used by CUPS in
cups/encode.c.
