But in the meanwhile, this patch simply implements a CUPS feature and allows us to have some basic integration in the distribution-provided printer tools. Being able to configure the printer via a bluetooth configuration wizard requires a bit more work, but it's also on my plans. There should be a CUPS service that would allow hcid to add/remove bluetooth printers from cups with minimum user interaction. > Btw, The printer wizard as it is now wont work with periodic > discovery, signals DiscoveryStarted and > DiscoveryCompleted are not emitted while in periodic discovery. The cups backend isn't supposed to run forever, so it can't do periodic discovery. -- Bastien Nocera ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
