That hasn't stopped CUPS
just today I read that microsoft will stop accepting any new printer drivers. If new printers are to work, they must support mopria and IPP.
That should eventually have positive side effects for us linux users
If I remember correctly, the restriction is that Microsoft will no longer distribute new print drivers via Windows Update. But I agree that moving to a common standard will help everyone’s print experience immensely. Trying to deal with HPs drivers is nightmare fuel.
CUPS works great when it does work but it can be a real pain in the ass. That said if you build the printer around it it would probably work pretty well
CUPS is a blessing and a curse. Even when it works perfectly, fingers are crossed the next time.
