Is it really appropriate to spit out a FIXME every time we encounter a
paper size or bin type that we don't recognize?
In the case of the *InputSlot option, for example, p. 97 of Adobe's
Post-
Script Printer Description File Format Specification says:
Any arbitrary strings that appropriately describe the device's
input slots are valid inputSlotOptions.
Referring to media types, p. 183 says:
A device manufacturer is free to list a new size in a PPD file
for a new device.
So the fact is that we're never going to recognize all options. I'll
grant that we could probably recognize more options, but that hardly
seems to justify issuing a FIXME -- and I can see no logic to issuing
the FIXME only when an option isn't recognized.
