print support

Post by slyi »

Hi all,
This is probably way to early to even consider this but anyone know what is needed print support - http://reactos.com/wiki/index.php/0.5.x/0.5.0 , i dont any real details on the wiki, but there is already a GPL'ed win32 print spooler on the web. http://yanolc.sourceforge.net

What type of support will v 0.5 have, local or network printing?

This yanolc is a lpd client, I think that is a good thing to have, but what we really need is a ms compatible print spooler, and to support that the RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is needed, and that is needed by very many parts of the OS for example internet and networking, it is started by the svchost -k rpcss command among may others, so I don't think it is very much work extra (on the other hand, I have no clue), but until the other parts are finished this is not in high priority. But if we could have some more developers some of them could perhaps concentrate on making support for this.
