Automatic Detection and Configuration of Local USB Printers

This desktop tools enhancement is new in the Developer 9/07 release.

The Developer 9/07 release includes desktop support for the Automatic Printing Configuration in the OpenSolaris Presto Project. The desktop support includes a GNOME applet, and configuration and preferences applet, capplet. The applet enables notification and processing of specific printer events such as hot-plug or error events on the GNOME panel. The capplet enables controlling the applet behavior. In this release, the desktop support is in combination with the HAL USB printer support which enables automatically detecting and configuring local USB printer support.
