CUPS 2.5 and 3.0 Development

on YouTube ↗54m

" summary

CUPS plans a CUPS 2.5 beta rollout in March to add OAuth support and centralized localization, with OAuth APIs present in 2.4x but no default UI yet and libcups gaining JSON web‑ticket support; libcups and commands are largely ready with about 80% API test coverage. 3.0 targets dropping PPDs to use IPP‑everywhere, splitting local printing from sharing, and using printer applications (Ubuntu snaps in 23.04/23.10 as a rehearsal) with Poppler rasterization as the current renderer.
