If you looked at the <http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting>; page, and you apparently did, then you will have noticed the "Making Printing "Just Work"" concept that I suggested several months ago, only to be met by the usual naysayers claiming it would never happen or be feasible. Obviously, these are the same individuals who claimed that the "bumblebee" could not fly. If you have not all ready checked out <http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/pdf_as_standard_print_job_format>, you might want to give it a quick once over. It is very informative. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
