What about a standard os IPP socket/API and drivers that comply with this ?
Ideally it should, at the most, have a browser plug in that auto downloads
and installs in a given folder or directory. But - it MUST be simple
enough for a child to use
I fear greatly when I hear hardware and netware engineers casually
absolving themselves from the actual, real life user experience which is
what will make or break IPP as a useful thing or yet another piece of
clutter....
Start at the front an work backwards- I know this is radical and opposite
to what is happening, but is it so unreasonable ?
