The current implementation of the CUPS-based printing stack includes new pieces of code in the cups-drivers project which recently moved to GitHub. Never heard of 'driverless printing'? A slightly modified (and stripped down) version of it already implemented as 'Apple AirPrint' for iPhone and iPad devices. You have never heard of 'IPP Everywhere' before? It is the future of 'driverless' printing.

Oh, and did you know that Apple recently changed the license conditions for CUPS and made it more permissive, moving away from GPL2 to Apache 2.0 licensing? this is were you possibly could fork the code and start adding functionality to get where you want to go.this is the place were you would have to poke around first.It does not have with ALL the features which would be required. No, this is not yet a fully-blown CUPS server for Windows which can serve as a drop-in replacement for a Windows print server.

Yes, the IPP Sample code is working and can print to a CUPS server (or receive print jobs from there) running on macOS or any blend of Linux. sln files available to make the build process with MS Visual Studio as smooth as possible. Yes, it compiles and works nicely on Windows, and there are a bunch of. The GitHub code for IPP Sample project is maintained by the very same Mike Sweet who also develops CUPS - so it's the real thing. The ippserver, ipptool, ippfind, ippproxy and ipptransform components of the IPP Sample project together make up for a standard-conforming IPP Everywhere implementation, covering the client as well as the server side of printing. This project is hosted by the ISTO Printer Working Group (PWG), the same industry organization which develops and promotes the IPP as a general standard. It is largely based upon the CUPS software, with substantial changes to the ippproxy and ippserver implementations to make them more general-purpose and configurable.' (my emphasis) 'This code provides sample implementations of IPP Clients, Printers, and Proxies. Here are the first two sentences of given as self-description in the mandatory README file: It's slowly approaching a mature version 1.0 release. Since some time there is a project called ippsample on GitHub.
