this point is full understand, but in our use case the cups-raster data is
transferred off-system via the printer connection (ethernet, usb,
centronics, ...). The Bandwith at this link is an aspect for performance.
One solution is to implement another compression algorithm in the
rastertoidol script, but why reinvent the wheel if the solution is allready
there and the only missing part is a mechanism to select it in an ppd?
