So printing is really not sexy :-( And this one student has also applied for an idea which is more data compression that then printing-typical stuff. The application at least makes a good impression, so I will go with that student. But a lot of work we wanted to get done by this GSoC did not find a student. See (or hear) you on the OpenPrinting Summit. Perhaps we should discuss how to make printing more interesting for developers. Till
