I think we're on the same page here. For 9.1, what's the *least* work we can do to get *something* done on the printing front? Once the basics are out there, hopefully we'll have community motivated to take it "the rest of the way", whatever that is. From the comments here, it seems like the no-discovery no-server CUPS client library could work with a fixed server name (or control panel with IP address box to fill in), and we can take it from there gradually. If anyone wants to flesh out a solid proposal, though, I'm all ears. A proof of concept one way or the other would be *very* useful. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
