It has it's own PPD file, so most device dependent features are accessible through frontends like kprinter (or at least through the CUPS web-interface). There are some more options I would like my driver to support, but it's not possible to describe them in the PPD file. What I actually want, is to show the user a GUI to offer the full range of features. I understand that it's not CUPS' responsibility.

this information, is it?
