Does this mean we should stop thinking about a proper solution or integration and wait until there is need for printing? ;)My point was simply that there is no good reason to expect there to be a ton of people falling over themselves to write printer drivers right now, ergo this isn't really a good rationale to say "dump our existing technology stack and go with something else that past experience dictates is not really an improvement."
I'm not even asking for others to do this, I was going kick myself to give it try. I see no point in competing here with existing printing solutions and printing seems to be an area with few to none interest since ever (lately i saw a fagot rolling thru the dusty printer mailing list) ;)
Anyway, there is still plenty of time left until we will dump something. Regards, Karsten
