Could you please elaborate, what you mean with "cups printing support"?
What "hooks" do you need?

I know that we can print using cups printers with different page layouts
(but maybe not different sizes). What exactly do you expect?

There are currently no plans for FLTK 1.3, and it's unlikely that we
will add new features before the release of 1.3.0 (planned before the
end of the year).

But enhancing printing support would probably be a good idea.

The best you can do is to add an STR (Priority 1 = RFE) and add
as much information as you can - a patch would also be welcome.
