[OpenIndiana-discuss] Cloud printing in OpenIndiana??

[Gary Gendel]

On a marginally related question... Does anyone know how to deal with 
non-HP printers for HP's ePrint technology? It seems that HP has a check 
to make sure the printer is an HP product (even though it meets the 
ePrint requirements).  So, even though I have an ipp networked printer 
that supports PCL, ePrint complains that it is an unsupported printer.

I think what is needed is an ipp proxy that will announce itself as an 
HP device and relay to the non-HP printer.

And as far as I know, it's entirely dependent on the Chrome browser and the cloud print extension. So it would require an effort to either port Chrome to OI or Solaris or extract that functionality from the browser extension and integrate it in to the OS. So if you're eager to use cloud printing right away with OI, I'd recommend upgrading your printer instead.
