My understanding is that CUPS deals with things at a job level, but not at
a graphical element level. So for instance, if I have a TIF file I can
feed it to CUPS as such, and the filters in CUPS can convert it to
PostScript, if that's what's needed.
But suppose I want to draw a red line from point A to point B on a page.
Then I want to print in Arial 23 point bold, rotated 15 degrees. A Windows
printer driver lets me do that, and have it come out correctly on
thousands of kinds of printers. I don't believe CUPS gives me that fine
level of control. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
