Maybe too early for specific feature requests, but here goes:

Certain newer printers can print PDF natively.  To do so requires the 
following added to the PPD:

     *cupsFilter: "application/pdf 0 -"

I'm still not sure how useful this is (brand new printer for us), but 
should be configurable from the admin interface.
