This session is all about Print-Scan-Fax in Linux where we stand as of date. This is to discuss on the problem areas and what we look ahead in the future.
Printer Applications replace CUPS printer drivers, solving numerous packaging, distribution, and support issues in the Linux printing environment. This session will provide some history, current developments, and future work that is needed to complete the transition from printer driver to printer application.
3D printing continues to be to be a hot topic, with both vendors and standards organizations competing to see who will determine how it will be used. This session will talk a little about the history of 3D printing, provide an overview of current standards efforts, and finally talk about the software and infrastructure that is needed on Linux to make 3D printing more accessible.
The driverless scanning came to Linux, allowing thousands of compatible devices, produced by many vendors, to just work. Alexander Pevzner, the author of sane-airscan SANE backend, will speak about present state and about perspectives.
At the time of the Linux Plumbers 2020 taking place we have all the tools to create printer and scanner drivers in the new architecture: PAPPL, the Printer Application library gives us most of the always needed code for a standard-conforming IPP-printer-emulating Printer Application, cups-filters provides additional data format conversion code, and snapcraft creates the sandboxed Snap...
