LSARC,
I am sponsoring this fast track for Ghee Teo of the
JDS-Gnome team in Ireland and the OpenSolaris Desktop
community. I have set the timer for Thursday March
27th, 2008. The case directory contains the attached
proposal.
GTK+ provides a printing dialog box which uses loadable
back-end modules. GTK+ Print dialog has a CUPS back-end.
This project will integrate the CUPS back-end into a
Minor release of Solaris. The back-end module is being
declared Project Private.
Thanks,
John

4. Technical Description:
4.1. Details:
GTK+ provides a printing dialog box uses loadable backend modules. It
allows different print systems to be supportd with a unified front-end.
On Solaris, there is already a backend module for Solaris Print system
based on PAPI. This project is to build GTK+ CUPS backend modules to
reap the benefit of CUPS integration into Solaris, PSARC 2008/130.
GTK+ Print dialog has a CUPS backend upon its initial integration in
GNOME 2.12 and have been available on Linux since. The project work here
is simply to build what is already there and provide a record of the
backend module for integration purposes.
