What's missing, I think, is any way of storing persistent data server-side on a per-user basis. The cups filters have access to the name of a job's "owner", yes? So as far as I can see, fetching a user's overrides (for those parameters which are out-of-band as far as the Common Printing Dialog is concerned) would be easy enough if there were anywhere suitable to store them. > And that's a very big problem -- the whole point of creating presets > like this is to use them.
