Need ability to print via http proxy, encryption is not necessary for this application.

Can this be upgraded as a bug rather than a feature request? It should be trivial to add http proxy support to cups.

This is causing a big problem for me. We have a private wireless network 10.x.x.x with proxied http access only - and all our printers are on a fixed LAN with real IP addresses. Cups tries to print direct to the printer every time. The windows printing system works fine with this set-up.

A solution is to open ports or create whitelists for the printers for the wireless VLAN, but our network admin guys do not want to do this.

First, it isn't trivial when authentication is involved, and second it is a new feature which means it can't be implemented in a stable release branch.

Sorry, we have decided this issue will not be addressed in a CUPS release.
