It's super messy everywhere. My current opinion is: Workstation should have a release criteria for IPP Everywhere printing only (i.e. Workstation should as a client print to any IPP Everywhere printer). That's "driverless" printing. CUPS can turn any printer it supports (however indirectly, foomatic, ghostscript, gutenprint, tequila drinking games) into an IPP Everywhere printer - but I would not make it a release requirement that some random CUPS supported printer is by extension supported by Fedora. I'd make it, OK if you can get CUPS to print to your printer correctly and announce it as an IPP Everywhere printer, then any Fedora Workstation should be able to find, connect/authenticate, and print something sensible. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
