OK, then stick to 1.1.x for now and tell the CUPS developers of your problems with 1.2.x (since any patch you'll develop will be applied to the 1.2.x source). > > 2.

(i mean the whole CUPS thing) :) Don't say that :-) If you are not interested that's one thing, but don't fear it :-) We also have 'u2ps's developer on the list and he might be interested in helping as this topic relates to printing as well :-) > > > to post to the cups.development newsgroup: > > > http://cups.org/newsgroups.php?gcups.development+Gcups+n > > > > > > or the mailing list that mirrors it: > > > http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/cups-dev > > > > > > this is called a Software Trouble Report > > > http://cups.org/str.php > > > >Thanks - I'll await your thoughts and results on point-1 above > >as well as comments on how best to do this. > > umm, dunno. but i guess we need to, > 1. contact CUPS, and see if they'll fix it or not. Yup, we need to let CUPS' developers know that we are looking to add Arabic support as they might have ideas on how to do that already. Plus it would be ideal to get their buy-in on the idea. > 2. if they're not gonna fix it, we step in.
