Hardware / Re: Printer Suggestion for ArcaOS

Hi Martin
I could add that when I bought a Canon MG7550 inkjet printer/scanner there was no cups support - Canon provided linux systems with ppd files and a closed source "plugin". However, cups was developing support for that printer without using the Canon ppds or plugin, I had to "hassle" Paul into updating "our" cups and ended up with a nicely working printer.
However, looking these pages
https://www.cups.org/
https://www.pwg.org/ipp/everywhere.html
https://openprinting.github.io/current/
it seems the only development is IPP Everywhere.
So, it looks like cups V3 will see us all switch to IPP Everywhere .
Maybe Paul and Silvan can enlighten us further when they look into porting cups V3 ...
Regards
Pete
