#pappl — Public Fediverse posts

@pierrenick What is missing is a modular concept, like a laptop from @frameworkcomputer user-exchangeable components for repairability and upgradeability, open designs to allow third parties to contribute components. Also free-software-based firmware/OS, using the code base of #OpenPrinting, #PAPPL, #CUPS, ...

I am open for a collaboration of OpenPrinting and Framework ... or whoever wants to jump in on the hardware side ...

...

#OpenPrinting

#OpenPrinting is present on #FOSDEM #FOSDEM2025, Feb 1-2 in Brussels/Belgium! Not only I am there but Akarshan Kapoor is giving a lightning talk about scanner support in #PAPPL, on Sat, Feb 1, 12:10-12:25 (building H, room 2215, Ferrer):

You will find me and also Soumyadeep Ghosh at the #Ubuntu booth, building K, ground floor, booth K1-A-3.

Akarshan Kapoor, one of my #GSoC contributors at #OpenPrinting, working on scanning support for #PAPPL, on-location organization lead for the first #OpportunityOpenSource in the IIT Mandi in India, and speaker on #UbuntuSummit 2023 and 2024, got interviewed:

@Anachron @frameworkcomputer @DeltaWye @SenorGeorgie @ljrk Anachron, you will not need to package any drivers. All modern printers are #driverless #IPP printers and using #Linux and #PAPPL for the firmware, the printer will also be driverless.

If you package the standard printing stack of OpenPrinting: #CUPS, #cups-filters, #Ghostscript, ... Void Linux will be good for all modern printers.

@frameworkcomputer I have seen 3 votes (@Anachron, @DeltaWye, @SenorGeorgie) and 1 mention (@ljrk) of a PRINTER.

I am also voting for a Framework printer.

I had suggested it already (exactly) a year ago:

https://community.frame.work/t/42863

And it gained already many votes in an earlier thread:

https://fosstodon.org/@frameworkcomputer/113482730489446307

We from OpenPrinting would also help with the firmware based on #Linux and #PAPPL.

#OpenPrinting

So with #CUPS slinging around deprecation messages I once more looked into the #PAPPL print-server apps as its replacement. And wow, the slogan "making printing just work" couldn't be more cynical.

The apps are only released in the Ubuntu snap store. They have proper releases over there, yet not even a single git tag in their source. You can "quick and dirty debug build" the git master(sic), but the only proper way is to build a snap package. Alright, so already very "just work", great.

@frameworkcomputer I suggested already to Framework to make a printer:

https://community.frame.work/t/framework-could-make-repairable-printers-multi-function-devices/

and I (leader of #OpenPrinting) and Michael Sweet (Author of #CUPS and #PAPPL, creator of driverless #IPP printing) would cooperate on the software/firmware side.

But they did not like this idea that much.

This would be a printer which is not "less hated" (HP's new ad campaign) but LOVED by its users ...

And now the contribution of #OpenPrinting to the #UbuntuSummit #ubuntuSummit2023 is online: The talk about scanning support in #PAPPL, base for distro-independent scanner drivers and scanning in #UbuntuCoreDesktop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAeUseU35Cc
