there is also an mfp_mil.xdd for the Milan

What does lp.xdd actually do ?  I have it installed now but there is no
obvious difference to printing.

I had hoped it would do background printing like Magic does.

Suggestion. It would be good to have a mint manager like Mint Setter that
also show which drivers are installed, versions, dates etc.

A XaAES management tool would also be nice.

Things for the Roadmap ?
