Documentation needed: All general options provided by CUPS for all print queues #5228

Closed tillkamppeter closed 6 years ago

tillkamppeter commented 6 years ago

When creating clients (print dialogs) the client does not only need to show all options which the printer provides by its PPD file (or get-printer-attributes IPP request on the CUPS queue) but also general options which are available for any CUPS queue. These options are for example number-up, page-ranges, output-order, ... and at least for driverless (IPP Everywher, AirPrint, ...) printers with auto-generated PPD options like print-rendering-intent, print-content-optimize, print-scaling, ... For these there would be needed a full list in the CUPS documentation so that client developers canmake these options completely available in their software.

@tillkamppeter Please review the CUPS Programming Guide (the new one I did for CUPS 2.2.x) and let me know what gaps there are.
