It is not broken currently I really need to get some work done, so I will keep it shortly, because this is a dup of the CUPS discussion: With code, you cannot have your cake and eat it. If you want the new features, you need to follow the developers direction. Keeping existing functionality has a cost, which in some cases exceeds the cost of a new version of the code that forces us to do things differently. I htink almost everyone understand this.
