Subject:   Cups listing of printers very short. Why?

Hi,

FreeBSD ships cups version 1.1.6 (no ports of higher version available).
Am I right that cups is the best tool for configuring (remote) printers?

I use cupsd in my browser "http://localhost:631/admin" to add printers and
I think the pull-down options are too limited:

- the Device section has no smb-windows protocol in the list.

- the 'Make' listing is very short, only "EPSON, HP, OKIDATA".

- the 'Model' listing is also extremely short, only "HP Deskjet series, HP Laserjet series"
  for HP.


On another Linux box I use cups 1.1.7, which has many more choices.

Do I not need these choices under FreeBSD?
Or is there a way to add more choices to my cups installation?

Thanks,
Rob.
