We are pleased to announce that the Open Printing Microconference has been accepted into the 2019 Linux Plumbers Conference! In today’s world much is done online. But getting a hardcopy is still very much needed, even today. Then there’s the case of having a hardcopy and wanting to scan it to make it digital. All of this is needed to be functional on Linux to keep Linux-based and open source operating systems relevant. Also, with the progress in technology, the usage of modern printers and scanners is becoming simple. The driverless concept has made printing and scanning easier and gets the job done with some simple clicks without requiring the user to install any kind of driver software. The Open Printing organization has been tasked with getting this job done. This Microconference will focus on what needs to be accomplished to keep Linux and open source operating systems a leader in today’s market.

Topics for this Microconference include:

• Working with SANE to make IPP scanning a reality
• Common Print Dialog Backends
• Printer/Scanner Applications – The new format for printer and scanner drivers
• The Future of Printer Setup Tools – IPP Driverless Printing and IPP System Service
• 3D Printing without the use of any slicer

Come and join us in the discussion of keeping your printers working.

We hope to see you there!
