Version: 1.6-feature
CUPS.org User: mike

In the continuing march towards IPP Everywhere, we need an API that exposes the supported and default job template attributes along with the constraints.

Initially this will be provided by the existing PPD mapping code, but long term we should be able to simply discover what a printer can handle and act accordingly.

Doing development on cups-api-1.6 branch...

The new PPD replacement APIs address the standard option names and values (all
from IPP/AirPrint) along with getting the supported and "ready" options and
values, media sizes and margins, and localizations of options and values,

The primary focus of the new print job APIs is to use a cups_dest_t pointer
instead of a printer name (== PrintCore's queue ID). The new document
submission API also allows for per-document options, although current CUPS
does not support the document object extension of IPP.

/* Cancel a job on a destination - replaces cupsCancelJob/cupsCancelJob2.
The "job_id" is the number returned by cupsCreateDestJob. When "purge" is
non-zero and the current user has admin privileges, the job is also removed
from the job history.

Returns IPP_OK on success and IPP_NOT_AUTHORIZED or IPP_FORBIDDEN on
failure. */

/* Create a job on a destination - replaces cupsCreateJob*.

Returns IPP_OK or IPP_OK_SUBST on success, saving the job ID in the variable
pointed to by "job_id". */

CUPS_FORMAT_xxx constants), and "num_options" and "options" are the options
do be applied to the document. "last_document" should be 1 if this is the
last document to be submitted in the job. Returns HTTP_CONTINUE on
success. */
