Re: [cups-devel] CUPS job ticket confusion

I found out that I need to use ipptool with the print-job test to get
this working, as lpr seems to send Create-Job+Send-Document. However,
I am still very unsure as for the possible parameters. Sticking to my
example, I can only select the paper source using the PPD syntax
(%cupsJobTicket: inputslot=tray1), not with the IPP syntax
(%cupsJobTicket: media-source=tray-1). However, other options provided
in IPP syntax work, e.g. (%cupsJobTicket: sides=two-sided-long-edge,
%cupsJobTicket: print-color-mode=monochrome).

Is there an overview on the options which can clarify this?
