[fdo] Custom printer list for all applicatons

[Francis Giraldeau]

Hi,

I would like to discuss issues with printer list displayed to users
within open source desktop.

In large environment, the cups printer list may get very long, and we
need a way to display only relevant printers to the user.

There are so much printing panel out there, and they are not using a
printing framework other than libcups. So, I changed the libcups library
to return only printers defined in a configuration attribute. (Well, the
code itself is not high quality, but it shows the concept)

https://svn.revolutionlinux.com/MILLE/XTERM/branches/ltsp-cluster/cups-client-filter/libhideprinters/libhideprinters.c


I would start a new spec on that to make a good implementation, and
feedback is welcome.

Cheer,

Francis
