Subject: PPR: Setting up PPR queues with "foomatic-configure"

Oi,

I have implemented PPR support now in the "foomatic-configure" script of 
the Foomatic package (http://www.linuxprinting.org/foomatic.html). This 
allows to set up a queue for any supported printer in the database on 
linuxprinting.org with a single command line. You download the CVS or 
the daily snapshot (after 12:20am Boston time) and install it. Then you 
can set up queues as described in the USAGE file (but with the "-s ppr" 
option).

At least basic queues are created, no automatic paper tray selection and 
  bi-directional communication yet (but you can add these features by 
some additional "ppad"/"ppop" commands). PPR is not auto-detected yet, 
so always use the "-s ppr" option with "foomatic-configure".

Happy printing.

    Till
