Hi people!
I have successfully created a Connection and printed a page. What I
figure out, that if I print a "file" (a TIFF Page), the output is
totally different, as if I would manually print the page from a viewer
GUI app.
How do I get the available "options" of a printer through pycups, which
I want to use for printing. Let us say, the system predefined standard
printer.
For a response I would kindly thank you

The default options can be discovered from the Dest object (which
cups.Connection.GetDests() returns a dict of).
The available option values can be discovered from the printer
attributes (i.e. cups.Connection.getPrinterAttributes()).

Hi Tim!
Thank you for your request.
What I have figured out so far, to print out a multi Page TIFF Document
so far, is to set 'fit-to-page' option.
if I set the option 'fit-to-page', only the 1st page (1 of 4) of this
multi-page document is printout properly.
Any ideas how to solve this problem, that the other pages are printed
out too ?!
getPrinterAttributes tell me, what options, but not the flags I am
capable to set.....
any ideas?! here the tiny code!
__init__(self), I defined self.__conn = cups.Connection()
------
Datei = '/var/spool/fax/recvq/FAX-3f442089-7d7f-4e73-a340-91c9d0012cdf.tiff'
Drucker = self.__conn.getDefault()
self.__conn.printFile(Drucker,Datei,'MeinTitel'{'media':'A4','orientation-requested':'3','fit-to-page':'True'})
print self.__conn.getPrinterAttributes(Drucker)

pycups doesn't do anything with the content, just passes it along to
CUPS. Do you find the same issue (whatever it is) when using CUPS
directly, i.e. with the lp command line tool?
