See also the bugtracker at foomatic.sourceforge.net. - 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.
