CUPS 1.2 and bidirectional communications

[Vladimir Buzuev]

More information:

I need another sort of filter works between my ordinal raster filter and the backend. The filter should be able to request some information from the printer, like a status, and based on that do some additional processing of sending data. Is it possible? How to read information returned by the printer?

Thanks.
