Re: [gnome-print] profiles / cups



Right,

We don't want to hardcode the cups printer in profiles. You are correct
we need to dynamically get the list of printers from CUPS. If you want
to work on this it would be great! Don't send me a big patch try sending
me smaller patches when you have some progress, so that i can comment on
them, for example for starters you can just get the name of the printers
and write a transport for cups so that we can specify the printer.

thanks,
Chema
