We should consider adding basic Print support for 9.1. 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/ ) _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
