Nice to read that roadmap. Care to explain how does CUPS work ? Does it need printerdrivers ?

Ahh, nice, I'll keep my PowerMac 7.2 then, hope it'll be supported.



Of course. However, since it is used in OS X and Linux (and other Unix derivates), there is a huge base of printers available. Wikipedia will tell you more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUPS


Thanks, I allready read that, but is does not really explain how it works for MOS.
E.g. when there is a new printer on the market, how is it going to be supported on MOS, a recompile of CUPS, a recompile of the drivers for PowerPC...
