Printing from Print (sugar) just works (too)
July 29, 2009
Okay, I never blogged this, my bad.
To sum up, about 2.5 weeks ago, I had made Print capable of USB printing.
Here are some screen shots:
screen1
screen2
I have yet to test the integration with the print device icon. I suppose it will work fine, because
the device icon works just fine for any usb print activity (last i checked with a printer).
For now it works like a charm for any file viewed in Print and which prints to Cups-PDF.
Feedback pleeaaaaaase 😀
p.s. Oh, the Print Setup will have an incarnation as a print dialog, but that’s a poll. 😉
An Introduction, if a little late
April 27, 2009
Hi!
I’m introduced to the sugar community through GSoC, and my project is adding print support to the XO laptops in a teacher controlled environment (which is the primary case) and the secondary would be to see to it that even network printing can be done.
And as for me I am a 3rd year engineering student from Chennai, India. I was always fascinated by this feature:
hit a button and see the object on screen move, it always made me think I was supreme if in a constrained environment.
Though I want to pursue more Mathematical/statistical and pure computer science specific research areas in the future,
User Interfaces and networking have been two things that are very integral to a programmers life. So I would like to learn some awesome things in this area with this project of mine.
Later!
