Mike,

I haven't used imprints at all.  Based on what I see at the project page, I
understand your concern.  There hasn't been any documented project activity
for about 7 months or so.  Interestingly enough, though, there have been
nearly 100 downloads in the last week alone, and over 5,000 total.  Only 6
problems reported over the life of the project.  So, the code may very well
be pretty good, but it doesn't look like any active development or support
is happening.

P.S. Note that the 'signing' is not of the drivers themselves, but of the
packages containing the drivers.  The project isn't guaranteeing anything
about the content of the drivers, only that the packages you download are
the ones the project put out there in the first place.

Subject: Imprints - worth the effort?


Hi list,

Has anyone used imprints successfully on Linux on zSeries
(imprints.sourceforge.net)? It sounds like a great concept of being able to
download signed Windows printer drivers to a Samba machine for simple
printer adds, but I'm not sure how mainstream/solid this project is.
Thanks.
