Hi,
=20
I am a Printing Systems Developer (from the Window$ world) and tasked
with providing a solution for a customer. The customer needs to print
from HP-UX 10.2 & 11, Solaris 2.8, and Redhat 8.0. I have been doing
some comprehensive research on various printing systems for UNIX for
about 3 weeks. Of course there is ESP, BrightQ, and the various open
solutions.
=20
We'd like to use KDEPrint/CUPS as the recommended solution but I could
not find if this is a legal combination on the OSes other than Linux. I
understand that CUPS will work on HP/Solaris, but did not find anything
about KDEPrint working on these OSes.
=20
My assumption is that KDEPrint uses Qt or some other window library and
for it to work on HP/Solaris it needs to be ported to use CDE.
=20
Any comments/knowledge about this will be much appreciated. =20
=20
Also, if there is an initiative for this already I will be interested in
helping in the port.
=20
Thanks,
Nick.
