Description
Now, after Till has given you an overview about OpenPrinting, you probably have many questions, for example:
- How to get started as contributor to OpenPrinting?
- What can I do if I am not a coder?
- How do I get printing into my apps?
- How do I design a driver for a non-IPP legacy/specialty printer?
- How do I report issues?
- ...
Till, Aveek, Uddhav, Omkar, and Ayush (and perhaps other people from OpenPrinting) will answer your questions.
