  - PWG IPP Interop through February 2012 - using CUPS ipptool (Ira)
    - Common issues found across manufacturers
      - Base IPP URIs with non-empty path components (not discoverable)
      - EWS requires admin login just to display configured IPP URIs
      - Required operations are not supported
      - Required operation attributes are missing or invalid
      - Required Printer attributes are missing or invalid
      - Attribute datatypes and/or groups are invalid
      - Request errors are often ignored (i.e., not correctly reported)
      - Request ID in responses is invalid (i.e., not correlated)
  
  - Ubuntu Oneiric (11.10) release this Thursday (Till)
    - Ghostscript 9.04
      - Print rendering much faster
      - CUPS Raster output device much more stable
      - Color Management (ICC profile) support
  
    - CUPS 1.5.0
      - Major functionality improvements
  
    - LibreOffice 3.4.3: Sends print jobs in PDF, now all applications of
      the standard installation send PDF when printing. This completes the
      PDF printing workflow.
  
    - Color Management
      - colord to manage ICC profiles, gnome-control-center ("Colors"
        part) to upload/install profiles, ghostscript 9.04 to apply
        ICC profiles when rendering print jobs
  
    - foomatic-db
      - Package has patches, as there is currently no upstream repository
  
    - system-config-printer
      - Provides algorithmic parts (joining results of CUPS
        auto-detection which are for the same printer, printer/driver
        assignment, best driver) as a D-Bus service, to allow other
        printer setup tools using them.
  
      - Printer auto-detection also finds remote CUPS queues which are
        shared but not broadcast
  
      - XML-based rules for deciding which is the best driver for a
        printer
  
    - Google Cloud Print support (unofficial)
      - Chromium Browser: Enter URL "about:Flags" and enable the "Cloud
        Print Proxy" entry, Click wrench, "Preferences" -> "Under The
        Hood" and there will be a "Google Cloud Print" section near the
        end of the list. Shares all CUPS queues to Google Cloud Print.
  
      - Package "cloudprint": Install the package, run "cloudprint -d",
        log into your Google account. Also shares out your CUPS queues to
        Google Cloud Print.
  
    - Apple AirPrint support
      - All CUPS queues which are shared can be used with Apple iOS 4.2
        (or newer) devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) via AirPrint (this
        also works already with Natty with all updates).

        Android, and Ubuntu Music Store.

        system-config-printer
