I'm searching for recipes like gutenprint/foomatic with a large amount of printer drivers for different brands. kind regards -- Steven Descheemaeker Software developer Limotec BVBA Bosstraat 21 8570 Vichte -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
