No, but CUPS does not conform to the AirPrint specification and never can because we don't support media-ready/media-col-ready. That basically limits printing from iOS to US Letter/A4, which is only slightly better than useless. Will consider some parts of this in the future, but really this change will need major work before it can be merged. |

OK, so aside from the comments I've provided we need to add support for media-ready/media-col-ready to make this marginally useful.

If we are going to do this, we need to do it right. PAPPL provides the proper mapping from pwg-raster-document-type-supported/resolution-supported/sheet-back to urf-supported. And then the URF key needs to use the value of the urf-supported attribute.

OK, tracking this for CUPS 2.4.0 in issue #105. |

I'm well aware this one is most probably contentious for Apple. But OpenPrinting is not Apple :-)
