Jaguar Features or Lack of (example: USB Printer Sharing)

I looked for a similiar thread and couldn't find one. I'm hoping this will be used solely for communicating what is IN and what is OUT of Jaguar.

My question:

Is USB Printer Sharing part of Jaguar?

USB printer sharing is in Jaguar. I'm almost 100% sure of that.

That's what I thought. Isn't CUPS support linked to USBPS?

Oh, yes, another question:

What about Game Sprockets and input Sprockets?

Does Jaguar support joystick, gamepads more than OS X.1 ?

It seems that there is no general API for joysticks and gamepads. Am I missing something here?

Yeah. CUPS is responsible for printing and printer sharing.

I think Apple killed them. I'm assuming Apple will supply a few more drivers though. Joysticks and gamepads are probably under jurisdiction of I/O Kit. But I don't really know, since I'm not following the technical details of OS X. A bunch of people around here would know precisely what's going on, so I'll leave it to them.

for all the chocolately goodness of not talked about jaguar features.

yum.

The link includes a reference to

"Updated printer drivers"

Does that mean support for custom paper sizes and borderless printing?

Will I be able to print borderless 4x6 photos?
