Re: 9.1 Proposal: Printing support
Over at the OSL, we were able to get new printers showing in the MeshBox, and had just started working on coming up with some interface for configuration. We had some hang ups with some of the code used to detect printers over avahi, but other than that things seem to work. http://staff.osuosl.org/~jirwin/sugar_printers.png A fun picture of sugar actually displaying 100 some odd printers(not a mockup).

In the past this has foundered on questions like, what brand(s) of printers? what connection mechanism? It seems impossible to support every printer and every connection mechanism in a reasonable amount of NAND space. *But*, we should be able to: * Print postscript (or pdf, or whatever, just pick *one*) to school server via CUP (IPP?), and install a decent selection of printer drivers on the school server. Control panel for 'default printer name', fixed to 'XS' by default. * Add basic printing support to Write, Read, and Browse; set PRINTER env variable. * for future, add support to Paint, Record, etc. for 9.1. Again, I can give a quick talk just restating the above, and hopefully spurring a discussion about how much work this would or would not be and whether we can afford to do this for 9.1 (or can't afford not to do it), but I'd love it if someone would volunteer to 'own' the issue and make a more concrete proposal, present a demo, investigate other issues involved, etc. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel -- Justin Gallardo ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

It may be possible that you could find others experiencing the same problem on the support forums. Check out http://forum.laptop.org/. Cheers.

Re: OLPC promotes terrorism
Really, I don't understand why this is being discussed here. The author of the post is obviously not reading this. This is the perfect definition of 'preaching to the choir'. Please don't bog down the devel list with this stuff anymore. There is a much better place for it. On Jan 24, 2008 2:10 PM, Brad Paulsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It's just about time for the moderator of this list to suggest we take this discussion elsewhere. So, before than happens, I'm going to get my two cents in. The blog post this thread is discussing has this to say about the XO: It's not just whether their Great Leap Forward is a good idea. It's the more basic problems with the computer. For example, it's extremely buggy. I was unable to do anything useful with it for any length of time without having to reboot it. It's painfully slow...The OLPC has a link to Gmail on its screen, but the system becomes slower and slower and eventually stops working if you attempt to use Gmail. I got a unit to fuzz test the WiFi stack, but the stack crashes often by itself even without me fuzzing it. Then, just two or three paragraphs later it warns: The real danger with the OLPC is that it's like sending guns to terrorists to attack us withit's...a computer than people can use to hack the United States. It is a weapon that can attack our nation's infrastructure much more effectively than a gun would. First, the name of the computer is the XO. The acronym for the organization responsible for its existence is OLPC. Second, I guess this guy's mommy (that's what he calls her in another blog post referenced in this thread) never bothered to tell him, You can't have it both ways, sonny. Personally, I'm all for sending guns that don't work (buggy guns?) to terrorists.
