introduction

This page gathers the useful input filtered from our communication with stake-holders like the the openPrinting team, printer manufacturers, the two desktop environments, applications and end-users.

topics

personal laser printing parameters

• add spec for how leaving a field empty in page range sets up a 1-page print

parameters, general

• add discussion of the solutions model for really custom controls for printers: similar to the dashboard widgets you see these days on any desktop platform and even mobiles: small, too-the-point graphical interface modules that are built out of HTML + javascript + CSS + a good dose of graphics.

documentation

on the border with job control

The dialog must handle

1. printer being paused
2. printer rejecting jobs
3. user not allowed to use a printer
4. user required to enter login/password to use a printer

however, the dialog should not encroach job control territory (subtle discussion that one).

color management

1. integration of ICC color profiles
2. preview and proofing
