They are nearly ready now and they are devided in - UI specs (for desktop developers) - CPDAPI (Common Printing Dialog API) specs (for application developers) - PPD and Foomatic extension specs (for printer driver developers) See the Wiki of the Common Printing dialog with links to all specs, to the BZR repositries, and to other interesting information here: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/CommonPrintingDialog Discussion happens on the printing-architecture mailing list: https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/printing-architecture See the archives; https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/printing-architecture/2008/date.html Distribution-Independent LSB-Based Driver Packages and PostScript PPDs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Last week I have started the first test of indexing the package repositories. Now all packages are available as RPM and Debian packages and they are indexed for installation and auto-update via yum and apt-get. Signing will be done soon. The Debian packages are auto-generated from the RPMs. To supply driver packages it is enough to make LSB-compliant RPMs. Currently I am working with a GSoC student and an additional volunteer on the server infrastructure, like automatization procedures for package and PPD uploads and also on handling the license texts. Especially license texts can now reside in separate files as some manufacturers can have problems with embedding them. In addition, the original, legally valid English license texts can now also get easily queried when a non-English UI language is used. The PostScript PPDs of the printer manufacturer will now be managed with several different driver XML entries and there is a new foomatic-db-nonfree package. This allows also the upload of non-free PPD files.

Some sections (like <http://wiki.openusability.org/printing/index.php/Specification#Printer_Zone >are now in a better shape). tomorrow and next week I will be able to spend more time on this spec and be ale to work in close cooperation with the developer to speed things up. --ps founder + principal interaction architect man + machine interface works http://mmiworks.net/blog : on interaction architecture ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
