Well, I hate to keep answering my own posts.... surely one of the more astute admins will jump in? (and keep me from looking.....foolish?) So continuing to research this I find some new-2-me flags on gentoo: eix hplip * net-print/hplip Available versions: 2.8.6b ~3.9.8-r3 3.9.12-r1 ~3.10.2 {cupsddk dbus doc fax gtk +hpcups hpijs libnotify minimal -new-hpcups parport policykit ppds qt4 scanner snmp static-ppds -udev-acl} eix -e cups [I] net-print/cups Available versions: 1.3.11-r1!t (~)1.3.11-r2!t (~)1.4.2-r1!t {X acl avahi dbus debug gnutls java (+)jpeg kerberos ldap linguas_da linguas_de linguas_en linguas_es linguas_et linguas_eu linguas_fi linguas_fr linguas_he linguas_id linguas_it linguas_ja linguas_ko linguas_nl linguas_no linguas_pl linguas_pt linguas_pt_BR linguas_ru linguas_sv linguas_zh linguas_zh_TW pam perl php (+)png ppds python samba slp (+)ssl static (+)tiff xinetd zeroconf} ef (explain flag) is a little script from Ciaran... ef cupsddk Add support for net-print/cupsddk which enables dynamic PPD files (recommended) ef hpcups Build the hpcups driver for cups (by HP) ef new-hpcups Build the new hpcups driver for cups which is no longer based on APDK (by HP) Sooooo, my question is has anyone any knowledge of these flags and with cups (/etc/cups/ppd/*driver*) ???
