OpenPrinting Join the team to make printing just work
summary
OpenPrinting reports 21 years of work toward a New Architecture for printing and scanning, moving stacks to CUPS 2.4, standard IPP/driverless support and packaging across Fedora/RHEL, and active collaboration with PWG. Projects include a proven smart printer selection module (auto-chooses best printer for a job), driverless printing that largely just works, growing GSoC mentorship (from one student to ~7–8 accepted, ~200+ applicants), plus scanning and 3D-printing standards work.
