I was especially interested in using the CYMK and Grey color model options, and disabling font subsetting. The options are: Resolution in steps, from 72dpi to 4000dpi The usual media sizes PDF Color models: Grey, RGB, CMYK PDF Settings: Screen, ebook, printer, prepress PDF Color image compression: JPEG, Flate PDF Grey image compression: JPEG, Flate PDF monochrome image compression: FAX G3, Flate PDF Compatibility: 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 PDF AutoRotate Pages: none, PageByPage, All PDF EmbedAllFonts: Yes, No PDF Subset Fonts: Yes, No PDF Compress Pages: Yes, No This are more or less the options which ghostscript accepts for the conversion to pdf, and therefore can be seen as "features" of the cups-pdf printer when running with ghostscript. This options show up in some printer tools like gtklp. There is nothing wrong with using the PostscriptColor.ppd which comes with cups-pdf, as long as it works well for you and you don't need any of the options above.
