Hi there, 

I'm very pleased to announce the immediate availability of Tea4CUPS
v3.00

Tea4CUPS is similar in functionnality to the *nix 'tee' command,
but available as a 100% plug and play generic CUPS backend wrapper.

Tea4CUPS is the Swiss Army's knife of the advanced CUPS administrator,
and can easily replace or extend most of the existing specialized
CUPS backends (pdf, email, ftp, etc...)

You are greatly encouraged to use this software instead of writing your
own CUPS backends : Tea4CUPS will let you plug your own routines
wherever you want, while giving them access to all the print job's
characteristics in a consitent way.

Tea4CUPS is a 100% Python written standalone script distributed
under the terms of the GNU General Public License of the Free
Software Foundation.

Tea4CUPS is available free of charge for all through the use of
subversion (svn), through a 20 Euros yearly subscription to Official
packages, or through a 9.99 US$ one time purchase.

For a very minimal fee, you'll save hours of debugging !

This new release features :

    - Tees don't exist anymore. Only prehooks and posthooks remain.
      
    - Prehooks can now send datas to Posthooks through pipes.
    
    - Major rewrite of the subprocess management code, thanks to Peter Stuge.
    
    - Greatly improved the IPP parser.

    - When printing test pages from CUPS' web interface, the empty username
      is now overwritten with the username CUPS is running as.

Credits :

  I want to especially thank Peter Stuge for his GREAT help !
  
Thank you for reading.
