Xerox and Konica Minolta driver profiles

Quick actions now know the Xerox and Konica Minolta driver keywords, in both the app and cupsadmin quick:

Driver Color / black & white Duplex / single-sided Letter paper User code
Xerox (AltaLink, VersaLink and the rest of the 5.19 driver) XROutputColor=PrintAsColor / PrintAsGrayscale, falling back to XRColorCorrection=Auto / Gray Duplex (generic) PageSize=Letter (generic) Xerox Standard Accounting: XRAccountingSystem=XSA + AcctUserID, plus an optional AcctAccountID
Konica Minolta bizhub C-series i / xi (PS drivers 5.2 and 5.3) ColorModel=CMYK / Gray (generic) KMDuplex=Double / Single PageSize=8.5x11 Unavailable: Konica Minolta Account Track codes are set by the driver, not the PPD
  • Optional second value. A driver profile can now declare a second input for an action. For Xerox, Set User Code asks for a User ID and an Account ID (optional), and the account ID is written only when you fill it in. From the CLI: cupsadmin quick usercode <queue> <user> [account]. --clear resets all three settings.
  • User IDs for Xerox can be letters as well as digits, up to the driver's limit of 32 characters. Ricoh user codes are still digits only.
  • Neither driver has a fit-to-page option, so on these queues the action is titled Use Letter Paper and sets only the page size.
  • The profiles were checked against every PPD in Xerox Drivers 5.19.3 (178) and the Konica Minolta bizhub C-series PS drivers 5.2.14A and 5.3.6A (including the 1-sided "S" variants).

Xerox and Konica Minolta profiles are tested against the vendor PPDs, not yet against a printer — reports welcome.

Install: download cupsadmin-1.4.0.pkg (signed and notarized); it upgrades earlier versions in place.
