I'm writing my own *cupsFilter. Do I have to parse both the ppd file and the
user option list to support all user options?
After setting up queue options and print a test page, command line arguments
#6 (options) to the filter is an empty list. So I suppose I have to parse
PPD file to get options.
User might submit job through command line and overwrite options set in PPD
file, so I have to parse that as well?
How about kprinter. I saw some strange options like orientation-requested=4
multiple-document-handling=separate-documents-collated-copies, how am I
supposed to do with it?
Thanks
