Re: [Printing-architecture] Google Summer of Code 2014 - IPP-over-USB printer support - Joint project idea for OpenPrinting and the kernel

Hello All, I have a couple of "simple" follow-up questions on IPP USB (IPP-over-USB) "Host device" support: Is IPP USB designed to support connecting and printing from a device like a tablet or smartphone (e.g., iPad, iPhone, Etc.) directly connected to a printer over USB? If the answer is yes -

Background: I'm working on a project that needs device tree like capability. Using the device tree OF driver works well and I don't want to create something that closely duplicates that functionality. When building a 32bit kernel, all works fine. However when building a 64bit kernel, the linkin

Michael, Thanks for the comprehensive response to my questions on IPP USB and confirming my assumptions. The only remaining question I have for the list at this time is - are there any Hosts, including model, OS and OS version (or other S/W requirements), presently available on the market (or oth

Worth Trying to Take this Upstream?

Hi Folks, I'm currently making my living working with a system derived from RHEL 6.1, complete with proprietary kernel modules. That's based on the 2.6.32 kernel, which is, of course, old news in the linux world. I recently encountered and bandaided a rather nasty semi-deadlock, that was being a
