For instance, it would be great to have the possibility to drag and drop pdfs to the printers, be able to set no of copies, scaling (A1 to A3 for instance) and the like.

Right now there is no interface to print a document other than the
test page from the web interface.  I'm not sure if there is an active
feature request for this specifically, however it is certainly
possible to implement (although I'm not sure about the drag-n-drop
part, it *is* just a web interface and we aren't going to add OS-
and browser-specific plug-ins to support it...)
