That would leave out Netsurf and other similar browsers, In fact, even Chromium and Iron do not run Cups 1.4.3. I ask because I am preparing a new version of Puppy Linux and would like to use a small system browser to run Cups.  Thanks.

While CUPS 1.4 (and CUPS 1.3, for that matter) use a little bit of Javascript to provide enhanced functionality (mainly for showing/hiding custom option value fields), they are perfectly usable without it...
