Hey all,
I have a printer set up using CUPS (FujiXerox Document Center 1100), it is named DC1100.
There are capabilities of the printer that are not shows as options of the printer as listed by:
lpoptions -l -d DC1100
The output is below:
PrintoutMode/Printout Mode: Draft *Normal High Photo
InputSlot/Media Source: Upper Lower MultiPurpose LargeCapacity Manual *Standard
PageSize/Page Size: *Letter A4 C5 C6 COM10 DL Executive Legal Monarch Statement

STP_ImageType/Image Type: *FromPrintoutMode Photo Graphics LineArt None Text TextGraphics
STP_Resolution/Resolution: *FromPrintoutMode 150dpi 300dpi 600dpi
I am particularly looking for options for:
- "secure print" (possibly by setting a mode and setting a username)
- stapling
- hole punching
Perhaps I need a vendor specific driver/PPD file? If so, any pointers as I have no idea where to look for one. I haven't been able to find one on the official site or on sites such as http://www.openprinting.org
