On day two of the 2019
Linux Plumbers Conference, two of the principals behind the Open Printing
project led the very first Open Printing
microconference. Project leader Till Kamppeter and program manager
Aveek Basu described the current state of printing on Linux and some of the
plans for the future, including supporting scanning for multi-function
devices. The picture they painted was rosy, at least for printing, which
may not quite match the experience of many Linux users. As with many
projects, though, Open Printing is starved for contributors—something that
was reflected in the sparse attendance at the microconference.
