Secure print?

[franz.pfoertsch.brose]

Hello Johannes,

I am very happy when someone is prove reading my pages. I will fix my pages.
My prefered way is to enhance the ppd-file (/usr/share/cups/model/), because when I enhance the queue_name.ppd and recreate the queue everything is lost.

But most important seems to me, more and more people are asking about enhancements of the ppd to allow secureprint, printing off pdf directly without generating postscript.
And there is no standard, an no tools to generate the ppds.

Is anybody on the list, who has the opportunities, skill and resources and so on, to work on this?
Or is there any communicationplattform to share those datas and informations.

I created my web-pages only to share the knowhow. It took so long to find out the details.

regards
Franz
