[Printing-architecture] The new "OpenPrinting Testing and Certification Program" Web Page

Till,

 

I just noticed on the OpenPrinting web page a new page on "OpenPrinting
Testing and Certification Program" with the expressed goal

 

Here we will develop a distribution-independent testing and certification
program for printers and printer drivers. The goal of this program is that 

LSB-certified printer + LSB-certified OS distribution = Just works! 

It should be agreed on a test program which covers use cases appropriate to
the printers and gives ratings on how well the functionalities of the
printer work with free Linux/Unix operating systems. The results should be
published in the linuxprinting.org printer database. 

... and the section ...


Certification 


A printer should be certified by FSG OpenPrinting when it succeeds in the
tests and when the driver is either in the standard repertoire of the
distributions, downloadable as distribution-independent package from
linuxprinting.org or coming as distribution-independent package with the
printer, so that the printer installs out-of-the-box from any LSB-compliant
distribution. 

 

I am a little surprised to see this page with goal.   At the last two summit
meetings, the Printer Manufactures all agreed that they did not support an
"OpenPrinting Testing and Certification Program" but would support a "Self
Validation Program".   As a member of the Open Printing Steering Committee I
don't remember the discussion of having an "OpenPrinting Testing and
Certification Program".   

 

Can you clarify if the page promoting a "Certification Program" or a
"Self-Validation Program"?   If the intent is a "Self-Validation Program",
then I would encourage you to change the wording.  If the intent is to be a
"Certification Program" I would like to know if printer manufactures are
willing to support it.

This page is old/obsolete (last edited Aug 2006). It needs to be updated 
with the results we obtain this Friday here in Tokyo.

I have added a note to the page now. It will be updated after the Tokyo 
OpenPrinting Meeting.
