Hi Peter and thanks for your answer. Yes, you are right about cups: it |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
actually uses net components but it's primarily use is to connect to a |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
printer, nothing more or less than that, even if it is connected to |
| 21 |
internet. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Even if we leave cups inside net-print, other packages like drivers are not |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
related to net in any way, as they only contains the necessary ppds for |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
printing. At the beginning of Gentoo that was acceptable because |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
packages were much less but now We should have to consider to place |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
them in a better position: that was already discussed, as said, and now |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I'd like to finish that transition. |
