Hi, anybody on wine-devel want to take this on and make this more concrete? --- On Wed, 26/3/08, Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Till and the rest of the gang.
Two people had got in touch with with about the IJS+PDF workflow, and I replied. (sorry I don't check the "other" e-mail often - I probably should set up re-direction).
Great!
I thought I should also mentioned that it has just came to my attention in some unrelated discussion on wine-devel - been doing some non-printing wine-related stuff lately - that there *was* a google summer of code 2007 project for a wine-based native printer driver proxy - this is the sort of thing I have had in mind for a while and I thought it would be interesting to do but I don't have in-depth windows knowledge to make it happen, but the wine people already did! http://google-summer-of-code-2007-wine.googlecode.com/
I just downloaded the gsoc 2007 printerproxy code. It seems that it is just for use from within wine, but it just might be interesting to make it more general - via opvp or IJS. We should follow up on this.
If this project still requires coding, it is not too late to add it as project idea to the ideas pages of both the Linux Foundation and WINE (having it presented at two mentoring organizations raises the chances to find a student).
Our ideas page is a Wiki and you can simply edit it:
