[STR New]

I would very much like to see this implemented in CUPS too. 

We currently have about 60 printers spooled on the cups server here in our
department and people are already annoyed about the long drop-down boxes
showing that many printers, while they only print on 2 or 3 different
printers usually.

I know this could be improved, by setting up more cups servers but that
would generate a lot of management overhead.

Is someone already working on this? Is there any chance this will make it
into cups 1.3 ? Or could you explain the difficulty in implementing this
feature? 

Thanks a lot,
Jonas Hoffmann
