Proper place to make suggestions?

[Philip Prindeville]

Hi.

I'm a CUPS user on Linux (FC3 and FC5) and I've noticed a few things that could be changed to make it more usuable:

* the default behavior should be to discover other printers on the network if they are created in shared mode;

* an attribute of a printer should be if it prints face up or face down; for face up printers, there should be an option to print from last-to-first page, and this should be the default;

* I've noticed that even though the margins of a printer are exported to clients, that a lot of applications such as "enscript" ignore these and print in the margins anyway.  Is this a short-coming of enscript, or of CUPS for not making detecting the margins easy, or both?

* I sometimes find myself in the situation where I try to print a document, but it just ends up sitting in /var/spool/cups but it isn't clear why the job is blocked;

* sometimes a print job will be converted to Postscript at the client, but the remote end (where the printer is attached) won't detect the Postscript correctly and starts to print it out as text;

Is there a good mailing list to discuss all of this?

Thanks,
