| One could also think about dropping the concept of printer setup tools altogether as modern, driverless printers are simply there, but it is not very intuitive for a user to have to find a Printer Application and install it to make a non-driverless printer working and that for driverless printers and Printer Applications there are web admin interfaces and how to access them. | One could also think about dropping the concept of printer setup tools altogether as modern, driverless printers are simply there, but it is not very intuitive for a user to have to find a Printer Application and install it to make a non-driverless printer working and that for driverless printers and Printer Applications there are web admin interfaces and how to access them. | ||
| + | So to assure continued coverage of all desktops we need to revive development of system-config-printer and make it supporting the New Architecture, but as with GNOME Control Center and KDE Settings we also need to keep the old functionality, to allow a switchover to the new CUPS at any time and already while still using CUPS 2.x, have a better support for driverless printers. | ||
| + | And this is the contributor's task in this project. | ||

| - | =====Printer Application for Braille embossers===== | + | =====Converting Braille embosser support into a Printer Application===== |
| + | 1 contributor full-size (350 hours). | ||
| + | cups-filters currently supports Braille embossers through a series of PPD files and shell scripts that convert documents into a textual layout, convert the text into Braille dots, and convert the Braille dots to braille embosser-specific formats. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For long-term support and wide availability, this needs to be converted to the newer CUPS infrastructure, Printer Applications. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The contributor's task is thus: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Converting these shell scripts into filter functions in libcupsfilters | ||
| + | * Creating a Printer Application that exposes Braille embossers configuration to users | ||
| + | |||
| + | The contributor does not need to own any specific hardware, a comparison can be made between the output of the existing shell-script-based implementation and the output of the converted implementation. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Mentors: Till Kamppeter, Project Leader OpenPrinting (till at linux dot com), Samuel Thibault, Braille expert (samuel dot thibault at ens-lyon dot org) | ||
