Printing on GNU/Linux is still pretty young. But it is evolving fast. The problems for hardware support are the user community : folks in India should take a lead in writing drivers for common hardware here, who's support is bad or non existent. How many drivers are written here? I think we should start a coordinated effort for that, so that newbies and oldies can all contribute. The problem mostly is how to start. > 3.
