79 <p>This attribute defines a program that sets the default option choices. It
80 is run when a printer is added from the printer browser instead of the
81 normal PostScript query and SNMP OID attribute lookups.
</p>
83 <p>The program is provided with two arguments: the printer's device URI and
84 the PPD file to be used for the printer. The program must write an updated
85 PPD file to stdout.

</a></h2>
156 <p>CUPS supports three types of color profiles. The first type is
157 based on sRGB and is used by the standard CUPS raster filters and
158 GPL Ghostscript. The second type is based on ICC profiles and is
159 used by the Quartz-based filters on MacOS X. The final type is
160 based on well-known colorspaces such as sRGB and Adobe RGB.
</p>
162 <blockquote><b>Note:
</b>
164 <p>At this time, none of the CUPS raster
165 filters support ICC profiles. This will be addressed as time
166 and resources permit.

><a name='CONSTRAINTS'
>Constraints
</a></h2>
365 <p>Constraints are option choices that are not allowed by the driver or
366 device, for example printing
2-sided transparencies. All versions of CUPS
367 support constraints defined by the legacy Adobe
<tt>UIConstraints
</tt> and
368 <tt>NonUIConstraints
</tt> attributes which support conflicts between any two
369 option choices, for example:
</p>
371 <pre class='command'
>
372 *% Do not allow
2-sided printing on transparency media
373 *UIConstraints:
"*Duplex *MediaType Transparency"
374 *UIConstraints:
"*MediaType Transparency *Duplex"
377 <p>While nearly all constraints can be expressed using these attributes, there
378 are valid scenarios requiring constraints between more than two option choices.
379 In addition, resolution of constraints is problematic since users and software
380 have to guess how a particular constraint is best resolved.
</p>
382 <p>CUPS
1.4 and higher define two new attributes for constraints,
383 <tt>cupsUIConstraints
</tt> and
<tt>cupsUIResolver
</tt>. Each
384 <tt>cupsUIConstraints
</tt> attribute points to a
<tt>cupsUIResolver
</tt>
385 attribute which specifies alternate options that resolve the conflict condition.
386 The same
<tt>cupsUIResolver
</tt> can be used by multiple
387 <tt>cupsUIConstraints
</tt>.
</p>
389 <blockquote><b>Note:
</b>
391 <p>When developing PPD files that contain constraints, it is very important
392 to use the
<a href=
"man-cupstestppd.html">cupstestppd(
1)
</a> program to
393 verify that your constraints are accurate and cannot result in unresolvable
394 option selections.

480 <li>The main keyword
"Translation" MUST NOT be used
</li>
482 <li>Translation strings included with the main and option
483 keywords MUST NOT contain characters outside the ASCII
484 subset of ISOLatin1 and UTF-
8; developers wishing to use
485 characters outside ASCII MUST provide a separate set of
486 English localization attributes for the affected keywords.
</li>
488 <li>Localizations are specified using a locale prefix of
489 the form
"ll" or
"ll_CC." where
"ll" is the
2-letter ISO
490 language code and
"CC" is the
2-letter ISO country
492 <li>A generic language translation (
"ll") SHOULD be provided with country-specific differences (

568 <p>CUPS supports custom options using an extension of the
569 <tt>CustomPageSize
</tt> and
<tt>ParamCustomPageSize
</tt>
572 <pre class='command'
>
573 *CustomFoo True:
"command"
574 *ParamCustomFoo Name1/Text
1: order type minimum maximum
575 *ParamCustomFoo Name2/Text
2: order type minimum maximum
577 *ParamCustomFoo NameN/Text N: order type minimum maximum
580 <p>When the base option is part of the
<tt>JCLSetup
</tt> section,
581 the
"command" string contains JCL commands with
"\order"
582 placeholders for each numbered parameter. The CUPS API handles
583 any necessary value quoting for HP-PJL commands. For example, if
584 the JCL command string is
"@PJL SET PASSCODE=\1" and the first
585 option value is
"1234" then CUPS will output the string
586 "@PJL SET PASSCODE=1234".
</p>
588 <p>For non-
<tt>JCLSetup
</tt> options, the
"order" value is a
589 number from
1 to N and specifies the order of values as they are
590 placed on the stack before the command. For example, if the
591 PostScript command string is
592 "<</cupsReal1 2 1 roll>>setpagedevice" and the
593 option value is
"2.0" then CUPS will output the string
594 "2.0 <</cupsReal1 2 1 roll>>setpagedevice".
</p>
596 <p>The
"type" is one of the following keywords:
</p>
600 <li><tt>curve
</tt> - a real value from
"minimum" to
601 "maximum" representing a gamma correction curve using the
602 function: f(x) = x
<sup>value
</sup></li>
604 <li><tt>int
</tt> - an integer value from
"minimum" to
607 <li><tt>invcurve
</tt> - a real value from
"minimum" to
608 "maximum" representing a gamma correction curve using the
609 function: f(x) = x
<sup>1 / value
</sup></li>
611 <li><tt>passcode
</tt> - a string of numbers value with a
612 minimum of
"minimum" numbers and a maximum of
"maximum"
613 numbers (
"minimum" and
"maximum" are numbers and passcode
614 strings are not displayed in the user interface)
</li>
616 <li><tt>password
</tt> - a string value with a minimum of
617 "minimum" characters and a maximum of
"maximum"
618 characters (
"minimum" and
"maximum" are numbers and password
619 strings are not displayed in the user interface)
</li>
621 <li><tt>points
</tt> - a measurement value in points from
622 "minimum" to

624 <li><tt>real
</tt> - a real value from
"minimum" to
627 <li><tt>string

><a name='RASTERPS'
>Writing PostScript Option Commands for Raster Drivers
</a></h2>
691 <p>PPD files are used for both PostScript and non-PostScript printers. For CUPS raster drivers, you use a subset of the PostScript language to set page device attributes such as page size, resolution, and so forth. For example, the following code sets the page size to A4 size:
</p>
693 <pre class='command'
>
694 *PageSize A4:
"<</PageSize[595 842]>>setpagedevice"
697 <p>Custom options typically use other operators to organize the values into a key/value dictionary for
<tt>setpagedevice
</tt>. For example, our previous
<tt>CustomWatermarkText
</tt> option code uses the
<tt>roll
</tt> operator to move the custom string value into the dictionary for
<tt>setpagedevice
</tt>:
</p>
699 <pre class='command'
>
700 *CustomWatermarkText True:
"<</cupsString1 3 -1 roll>>setpagedevice"
703 <p>For a custom string value of
"My Watermark", CUPS will produce the following PostScript code for the option:
</p>
705 <pre class='command'
>
707 <</cupsString1
3 -
1 roll
>>setpagedevice
710 <p>The code moves the string value (
"My Watermark") from the bottom of the stack to the top, creating a dictionary that looks like:
</p>
712 <pre class='command'
>
713 <</cupsString1(My Watermark)
>>setpagedevice
716 <p>The resulting dictionary sets the page device attributes that are sent to your raster driver in the page header.
</p>
718 <h3>Custom Page Size Code
</a></h3>
720 <p>There are many possible implementations of the
<tt>CustomPageSize
</tt> code. For CUPS raster drivers, the following code is recommended:
</p>
722 <pre class='command'
>
723 *ParamCustomPageSize Width:
1 points
<i>min-width max-width
</i>
724 *ParamCustomPageSize Height:
2 points
<i>min-height max-height
</i>
725 *ParamCustomPageSize WidthOffset:
3 points
0 0
726 *ParamCustomPageSize HeightOffset:
4 points
0 0
727 *ParamCustomPageSize Orientation:
5 int
0 0
728 *CustomPageSize True:
"pop pop pop <</PageSize[5 -2 roll]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice"
731 <h3>Supported PostScript Operators
</a></h3>
733 <p>CUPS supports the following PostScript operators in addition to the usual PostScript number, string (literal and hex-encoded), boolean, null, and name values:
</p>
737 <li><tt><<</tt> - Start a dictionary.
</li>
739 <li><tt>>></tt> - End a dictionary.
</li>
741 <li><tt>[
</tt> - Start an array.
</li>
743 <li><tt>]
</tt> - End an array.
</li>
745 <li><tt>copy
</tt> - Copy the top N objects on the stack.
</li>
747 <li><tt>dup
</tt> - Copy the top object on the stack.
</li>
749 <li><tt>index
</tt> - Copy the Nth from the top object on the stack.
</li>
751 <li><tt>pop
</tt> - Pop the top object on the stack.
</li>
753 <li><tt>roll
</tt> - Shift the top N objects on the stack.
</li>
755 <li><tt>setpagedevice
</tt> - Set the page header values according to the key/value dictionary on the stack.
</li>
759 <blockquote><b>Note:
</b>
761 <p><em>Never
</em> use the unsupported
<tt>dict
</tt> or
<tt>put
</tt>
762 operators in your option code. These operators are typically used in
763 option code dating back to Level
1 PostScript printers, which did not
764 support the simpler
<tt><<</tt> or
<tt>>></tt> operators.
765 If you have old option code using
<tt>dict
</tt> or
<tt>put
</tt>, you can
766 rewrite it very easily to use the newer
<tt><<</tt> and
767 <tt>>></tt> operators instead. For example, the following code
768 to set the page size:
</p>
770 <style type='text/css'
><!--
778 <pre class='command'
>
779 <b>1 dict dup
</b> /PageSize [
612 792]
<b>put
</b> setpagedevice
782 <p>can be rewritten as:
</p>
784 <pre class='command'
>
785 <b><<</b> /PageSize [
612 792]
<b>>></b> setpagedevice
790 <h3>Supported Page Device Attributes
