Thank you for that COPR repository.

I think using SNAPs on Fedora is wrong. I don't like what snaps do with mounted filesystems and consider flatpak more appropriate replacement. But flatpak wants to isolate application from the system. Those apps require to integrate into the system on the other hand.

I assume from provided explanation that printer apps needs direct access to USB ports and therefore are not good candidate for placing into some kind of container. It needs a direct access to the host hardware, therefore it belongs to the system. Or is it possible to forward just limited sets of of USB devices into a container?

Could perhaps alternative package with unreleased snapshots be provided? That would allow packaging required printer apps, which cannot use stable versions. Should be module considered for applications and new version of cups filters?

- Till Kamppeter wrote printer applications which covers all printer drivers in Debian distribution - we don't have any additional printer driver package in Fedora, so all our driver packages are covered as well


Since there were some questions the last time this came up, see this[0] gnome-control-center upstream discussion for how printer applications may be integrated into the desktop environment printer configuration.

- printer applications (the solution for driver-only printers how to work with IPP-only CUPS) are available as SNAPs in Fedora (feel free to try them and leave feedback at the respective OpenPrinting project https://github.com/orgs/OpenPrinting/repositories ), packaging them as RPMs is blocked due dependency on cups-filters 2.0, which is not released yet (though IIRC someone from Fedora community - maybe Brandon Nielsen - has them in copr)


That would be me[1], though I haven't been giving them the attention they need lately.
