Show printers advertised by avahi on local network. CUPS
backend now looks for _ipps._tcp and _ipp._tcp services
offered by avahi. If it finds such a service (printer)
it requests its attributes through IPP_GET_PRINTER_ATTRIBUTES
ipp request and adds it to the list of printers. Such printer
behaves like a remote printer then.
If an avahi printer is a default printer then it is considered
default by the backend only if there is no local or remote
default printer.
This functionality is enabled when building Gtk+ with CUPS 1.6
or later because it replaces browsing protocol removed in CUPS 1.6.

gtk+ was trying to display already freed strings, leaking memory,
...I noticed this because I was getting weird blinking characters
as the status of my cups printers, and valgrind confirmed something
was wrong.

These are just wrappers for the functions, and we want to
deprecate them. Stopping to use them internally is a good
first step. Also define GTK_COMPILATION so we can keep using
gdk_threads_enter/leave without causing deprecation warnings.
Having refactored cups_request_printer_list_cb so that the cups
version-dependent block size is small enough to be handled in a single ifdef,
make the ifdef HAVE_CUPS_API_1_6 block.
So that it can be passed as a single parameter to functions as we extract-function to make cups_request_printer_list_cb more manageable.
Note that not all of the affected variables are changed in this changeset. Those are in extracted functions and will be addressed in the next two changes.
This commit fixes crash which occurs in Firefox, Thunderbird and Inkscape
during printing. This crash was caused because of wrong handling of Custom
CUPS options. (#543520)
This functionality adds a new 'Printer Profile' entry to the 'Color' page in the
UNIX print dialog if colord support is enabled.
This shows the user what color profile will be used for the settings they have
selected, and if no profile or the default profile is going to be used.
We are deliberately not allowing the user to _change_ the selected profile, as
the ICC profile is an implementation detail, and we should not change the other
print settings based on the characterization state.
The OpenICC group broadly recommend showing the profile that is used, so that
power users can be sure the correct profile is being used at the right time.
Normal users won't care, as they don't know how horrible the color match is
without profiling the printer and media.
gcc warns if you switch on values that are not part of the enum you're
switching on. So handle those cases in the default handler by using if
statments.
PS: Someone file a bug against cups about this?
Parse options job-sheets, job-hold-until and sides correctly.
Add get_lpoption_name() for translation of lpoption names to
gtk option names. Usable for options which values don't need
conversion (e.g. number-up, number-up-layout, job-billing
and job-priority).
Rename array option_names to ppd_option_names to reflect its
purpose better. Rename get_option_name() to get_ppd_option_name()
because of the same reason.
Preferrably should be made just into a local variable for libgtk like
_gdk_debug_flags for libgdk. But for now used by
gtk/tests/textbuffer.c and modules/printbackends/cups/gtkprintbackendcups.c.
CUPS backend shouldn't handle "connecting-to-device" state reason.
It shows "Printer '%s' may not be connected" for this state,
which is not true in almost all cases. Better is to use
"printer-state-message" which contains correct message (#622011).
Reading of PPD files collides with getting list of printers.
It helps to give higher priority to getting of PPDs than to
getting list of printers (#614581).
Either g_type_register_static_simple (used by G_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED)
and G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE use automatic variables for GTypeInfo and
GInterfaceInfo structs, while tutorials and source code often use
static variables. This commit consistently adopts the former method.
