- Messages to Till
- We would like to know what kind of Applications will support CPD on
Ubuntu12.10 if it's already planed.
- We think we need to join the discussion of removing filters from CUPS.
- It's understandable that you want to remove some filiters.
- But we cannot accept it easily if users wouldn't be able to do
something that they could have done before removing the filiters.
- We found the comment it says that "Ubuntu Precise will probably still
use system-config-printer as GNOME's new tool is missing too many important
features" on the following document.

It is planned to make all applications coming on the desktop CD of
Ubuntu 12.10 using the CPD.

- We think we need to join the discussion of removing filters from CUPS.
- It's understandable that you want to remove some filiters.
I have already corrected my removal plans somewhat. What will be removed
in any case are filter only for PostScript-based printing, bannertops,
texttops, and imagetops. Filters for turning images into PDF will stay,
I will perhaps only remove exotic formats like Photo CD or SUN Raster,
especially if I run into problems maintaining this code. For common
formats like PNG or JPG the code uses maintained standard libraries.

- But we cannot accept it easily if users wouldn't be able to do
something that they could have done before removing the filiters.
As said above, most input format will stay to be maintained, only exotic
image formats a subject to be removed in case of maintenance problems.

- We found the comment it says that "Ubuntu Precise will probably still
use system-config-printer as GNOME's new tool is missing too many important

Yes, that is true. system-config-printer is a sophisticated printer
setup tool working as IPP client for CUPS, doing all communication with
CUPS via IPP and doing network scans with Samba, It also calls the
driver management software Jockey to search, download, and install
printer driver packages from OpenPrinting.

The GNOME tool has only very basic functionality, not even the
capability of setting option defaults.

Lars Uebernickel is working on this. Lars, can you give a more detailed
state of the art?

PDF filters are now upstream-maintained at OpenPrinting and will not get
transferred to Apple.

Stable Debian has rather old versions of Ghostscript, Poppler, Cairo,
and the CUPS filters, In recent versions a lot of performance
improvements were done following my upstream bug reports. Please try a
Ubuntu Oneiric live CD for reference (do all software updates after
booting from the CD). If you still experience problems, please report
bugs at Ubuntu.

- Ricoh has a pdf file which happens it but it cannnot be

We need to set meeting dates for the US/Europe/Japan meetings.
