[cups.development] [RFE] STR #1767: Provide FSG OpenPrinting Printing API (PAPI) as a part of the CUPS package

[Till Kamppeter]

[STR New]

On the last FSG OpenPrinting Steering Comittee phone meeting we came out
with the result that the best for getting PAPI into the Linux
distributions (and into all other operating systems using CUPS) is to have
it as a part of the CUPS package, as the distributions are always using an
up-to-date version of CUPS.

So I suggest to add PAPI to CUPS 1.3.

PAPI sample implementation at

http://openprinting.sf.net/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openprinting

Also for LSB sandards it is only relevant what is in the distributions. So
to get PAPI into LSB 4.0 it is an important step to have it in CUPS.
