Bug#198492: RFA: pdq -- Simple printing system for workstations
Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-06-23
Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the pdq package. It appears to be orphaned
upstream, and there are (IMHO) better printing solutions available in
Debian now, such as CUPS.
The package description is:
Queueless printing system for workstation installations, which also
supports sending print jobs to BSD lpr queues, over Appletalk (using
netatalk) or TCP connections, and over fax transmissions via the efax
utilities. It also includes a contributed interface for printing to
Novell NetWare-based servers.
.
The maintainer of the Linux Printing HOWTO recommends
using this system standalone, or as a front-end to LPRng.
.
Printing to non-Postscript printers usually requires using GNU or
Aladdin Ghostscript.
