- - Possibility for users to have their personal default options
- (.lpoptions file as in CUPS, due to the Foomatic options having the same
- names as the CUPS-O-MATIC options one can even use an .lpoptions file
- with exactly the same format as the CUPS file and it will be used by
- both Foomatic and CUPS)
-
- - Write a few key lint-like and transforming tools for the xml data.
-
- - Fold foomatic-gswrapper into the foomatic-rip
-
- - Improve ascii support to lpdomatic and pdq files. ASCII should
- simply be a matter of observing the ascii bit in the printer $dat
- and sending either crlf-ed text or postscriptifying and running
- through the ps driver. Right now text is always translated to
- PostScript (with the advantage of more nicely-looking text
- output (with head line, page numbers, ...). When one implements
- the possibility to pass text directly to the printer, one should
- consider the optional use or the "pr" filter.
-
- - PDQ file versioning is still unsatisfactory. I changed from a
- checksum to the current timestamp. So now it's sequential, but
- changes all every time. Other spoolers' code needs a version story
- in the first place.
