Vlad Val
Description
Want to connect a 20-year-old printer to your smartphone? Looking for an off-the-shelf print server with support for AirPrint and Mopria, but found only "port forwarders" from the early 2000s?
Alas, no one brought modern driverless devices to the market... until recently!
The talk covers:
- The development of a print server aimed at old printers and technically unsavvy users
- Bugs that it helped to uncover and eliminate
- Driverless compatibility issues across different OS
- Co-financing open source with the help of third-party hardware
- Promotion of the device for the end-user
