Remembering all the fun we had with foomatic, etc. back at yT, I can't
honestly say I'd be particularly enthusiastic about that
direction....was not exactly a nice technology stack to work with.
I won't forget, but to be honest i don't see that much dev's popping up and
write native printer drivers. If we do a proper integration, we will get a
lot more stuff for free and all it needs is just maintenance.
I don't think people will be all that interested in writing printer
drivers until they have something usable that they'd actually want to
print from :) There isn't exactly much in the way of non-OS-related
development going on for Haiku in general at this point.
