      COMMENT OUT all *cups.. options , not needed and confusing cups ...

lpadmincern: 

   - a frontend to CERN printing database and system CUPS spooler.
  
   - work in progress ;-)

About PPDs we use:

1) Some come from \\cernprint0{1,2,3}.cern.ch\print$\w32x86\3\
   (Windows drivers)

2) Most come from linuxprinting.org (these with long names and generic postscript).

3) Some come from manufactures support web sites.

4) For some printers we miss drivers and as these are not really postscript printing will
   fail (unless we ship gutenprint ..)
   Those are: HP DesignJet 750C / 750C+ / 750CM

5) Adding new printer type:

   See what is its type (landb or lpadmincern --list)
   Find a ppd for it and CHECK IT using cupstestppd command - some need editing !
   Edit lpadmincern.pl and make a new binding between name and type. 

6) HP ppds -> we comment out *cupsFilter: ... hpps ... option
   (requires usually recent hplip we do not ship on SLC5/6,
    that filter only provides:
       secure printing - not available on almost all HP printers
       job accounting  - not needed
       born on date    - printer manufacture date .... )

7) all ppds: we change 
   DefaultPageSize
   DefaultPageRegion
   DefaultPaperDimension
   DefaultImageableArea

    from Letter to A4

8) and we test if PPDs are cups compatible with: 
     cupstestppd xxx.ppd
