He has even bought an IPP-over-USB printer for doing further work, but since then no futher reaction. He has answered on my pull request mid-September. Trent Lloyd had some time again and promised to get the localhost support issue solved soon. The link will lead you to the message which started the discussion, go down the thread for the further messages. The discussion is on the Gutenprint developer mailing list in this thread.

#MAC PRINTER DRIVERS GUTENPRINT DRIVER#

The developers of the Gutenprint printer driver suite started to discuss the development of a Gutenprint Printer Application to replace their current, classic printer drivers. Can also pick up legacy CUPS broadcasts (or BrowsePoll from legacy servers) and provide these printers as IPP printers.ДЄny further project ideas for the next GSoC are welcome.

Turn cups-browsed into a Printer Application: Instead of creating a local CUPS queue for a printer cluster emulate an IPP printer which prints to the cluster (and local CUPS picks it up automatically, but how to prevent local CUPS from seeing the member printers directly).A built-in web admin interface could allow configurability.

Make a Gutenprint Printer Application but without PPDs and without DheerajвЂ™s legacy printer driver converter, use only libgutenprint to get the printer capabilities.

Extend Printer Application Framework from a converter for legacy drivers to a general Printer/Scanner Application SDK, including direct, PPD-less printer applications, IPP System Service, web interface, C API library, вЂ¦.

Scanner Application Framework, to make Scanner Applications from SANE drivers.

SANE driver for existing SANE-using apps to be able to access driverless IPP scanners (including Scanner Applications).

With the standards work of the PWG and after our discussion on the Linux PlumberвЂ™s Conference, first ideas for next yearвЂ™s Google Summer of Code have come up: We are looking into giving a lightning talk there. Till Kamppeter and Aveek Basu will attend the Mentor Summit in Munich next week. Thanks to Kate Stewart and Jeff Licquia for inviting us. Jake Edge wrote an excellent article on LWN.

Printer (Scanner) Applications replacing current drivers.

Here we have discussed the current work of OpenPrinting: Till Kamppeter, Aveek Basu, and Rithvik Patibandla have held an OpenPrinting Micro-Conference on this yearвЂ™s PlumberвЂ™s which has taken place in Lisbon, Portugal.
