I have ported cups to the N900. I am waiting for the maemo.org
response, because I forgot to fill the maintainer field correctly.
Now I am not listed as maintainer of cups, so I cannot promote
it yet. When this was corrected, applications can be build with
cups support.
I tried recompiling libgtk2 with libcups2-dev installed. The libs were
found and gtk has printingsupport.
Then I recompiled leafpad and abiword against the new gtk libs.
Now I am able to print out of leafpad and abiword.
At the moment, only printing to a network printer was tested by me.
Maybe bluetooth printers, or even usb printers over hostmode work,
too.
Just try the packages in extras-devel. The modified gtk, leafpad
and abiword packages are located in this thread:
