Reports from the Desktop Linux Printing Summit
==============================================

   DesktopLinux.com [http://www.desktoplinux.com/] reports on the recent
OSDL sponsored Desktop Linux Printing Summit
[http://groups.osdl.org/workgroups/dtl/desktop_architects/desktop_printing/]
in the USA.  "The meeting was attended by about 40 developers from
printer vendors, such as Hewlett-Packard, Lanier, and Lexmark; to
operating system distributors like Apple Computer, Debian, and Novell;
to those two Linux desktop powers, GNOME and KDE; and more. Their job?
To nail down exactly what's wrong with printing and Linux, and to work
out ways to resolve these problems once and for all."  They point to
blogs from the KDE attenders, Cristian Tibirna
