Re: [Ltib] Reg - Printer Support for IMX31

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Sivakumar.R.J,

Currently there is no package in LTIB intended to provide printing
services.

Most people on Desktops use cups as you say, but this is quite big and
I'm not sure how cross compile friendly it is.

Depending on what you're trying to achieve, it may be better to try to
use a remote printer rather than install a package that knows how to
print to a huge database of local printers.  Maybe you could try adding
the old unix LPR package?  Another option maybe to try smbprint from
samba (which is in LTIB), I'm not sure what that needs though.

Maybe someone else knows of a good small remote printing package for
embedded?

Regards, Stuart
