[cups] Printing to native XPS printers using CUPS

Hello Gernot,

I tried out Ghostscript’s xpswrite device yesterday and currently cannot recommend its use
for the following reasons:
(1) The pages are rendered as TIFF images (one image per page).
(2) The resolution of these images is hardcoded to 96 dpi and cannot be changed.
(3) The color space is hard coded to sRGB and cannot be changed (e.g. to grayscale
     for a b/w printer).

But for supporting printers which speak nothing but XPS, such a filter could be implemented.
I’ll think about it.

Helge
