Over the summer, I will attempt to configure Linux to use printers from over 40 different countries.

You've been out in the sun again haven't you!?

@neil oh dear..

[solderandchaos@mastodon.me.uk]

@neil Neil, no.

[jelte@mastodon.nl]

@neil what kind of queue will you configure: all print jobs performed in order (FIFO) or can countries buy priority (FIFA)?

@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk Very nice :-). And, weirdly, only one message away, in my Fediverse feed, from another CUPS-related pun that I just made having not yet seen yours! Considering that I’ve probably gone decades without any CUPS-related puns at all, only to have two in a row right here today, I think I’d better go check that my printer is working…

@neil Will the tickets to watch you do this be insanely expensive?

[neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk]

@kfogel

One cannot have too many CUPS puns.

(I have followed your work for a *long* time - this is how I imagine bumping into a celebrity feels for normal people!

@neil HYDRATE! You are clearly suffering.

@ghawkins @neil You have to buy four in different colours even if you're going alone.

As if by some strange coincidence
Micro Science Fiction/Fantasy had a printer related story tonight.

@kfogel @neil damn, my UV printer has a rotary attachment so I can print on cups, but does not use cups drivers.
