It would be very useful to be able to specify an InputSlot to be applied to banner pages only.  This way, jobs printed using expensive paper can have banner pages printed on very cheap paper.

Considering for 1.4.

job-sheets-media=foo,bar seems like a possibility, but will also look at the various IPP extensions for this sort of thing...

Any idea which method you will use for specifying it?  Perhaps I could start coding...?

We'll likely now base our implementation on PWG 5100.3 - IPP: Production Printing Attributes - Set 1.  The job-sheets-col attribute includes media and media-col properties that would override the main media/media-col attributes in the job when we build the command-line options for the filters in cups/scheduler.c:start_job().

You'd also need to update scheduler/ipp.c for all references to job-sheets - each would need to look for job-sheets-col first, handling the necessary overrides.

I see, so it could be set from the command line like this?:

lpadmin -p printer -o \
  job-sheets-col-default='{job-sheets=banner,banner media=plain}'

Right. Or:

    lpoptions -p printer -o job-sheets-col='{job-sheets=banner,banner media=plain}'

or:

    lp -d printer -o job-sheets-col='{job-sheets=banner,banner media=plain}'
