This is a second attempt as I am not sure if my first was accepted
This is a patch to support cups printing. It implements a panel where you can choose a printer and all settings that the printer support.
The patch include autoconf changes to find the cups library (the test may be disabled). I have not implemented internationalization as I am not sure on your preferences on that matter.

The patch is to be applied on top of svn version r7878 (It was created with git)

This is a feature that is possible to include in the 1.3 release.
Regards, Per

It looks like the patch didn't get attached to the STR as you hoped.
If you follow the link http://www.fltk.org/str.php?T2453 you can click
on the Post File link near the top, and browse your own file system
to attach the patch.

You said that you used "git diff" to create the patch file. If you
used "svn diff" instead it might make it easier for the developers
to apply.

Finally, in order to stand a chance of getting FLTK-1.3.0 released
before Christmas, we are trying to limit the STRs and RFEs to include
in it. If the patch is not simple, the RFE will probably be bumped
to the FLTK-1.4 "to do" list instead...

The "cups_from_svn_v2.patch" is a simpler version of the first patch which also is to be applied on top of r7878.
This is a patch in one step, the original patch was in 6 steps.

I appreciate this big and very useful patch. However, for 1.3.0 this is simply too much unverified code at once. In view of a tight release schedule, I am moving this to 1.4, but I would love to see this in a release very soon. Plus we have the Cups expert on our team... .

Arriving here 13 years later, I will remove myself from the STR as I really do not know what the current state of CUPS is in the Linux world. I saw that Mike Sweet released a new version of his FLTK based RasterView, so he is actively developing.

14 day reminder to close this if there is no feedback.

This STR has not been updated by the submitter for two or more weeks and has been closed as required by the FLTK Configuration Management Plan. If the issue still requires resolution, please open a GitHub Issue and refer to this STR.

FLTK currently implements Unix printing via Gtk if it exists by loading the relevant libraries at run time, or using "lp" or "lpr" to print via onboard printer calls. I did not get replies on the need to cover CUPS and no complaints about printing on Unix in general, so I am losing this STR.
