Printing and the XO

[Greg Smith (gregmsmi)]

Hi Peter,

Which teachers or schools have been asking for printing support? If we
can add some documentation on that to the Wiki it will help a lot.

It makes sense that schools would want printing and CUPS is a robust
tool in my experience. 

Real world user cases will help determine how much effort is needed on
the configuration/moderation fronts. They can also help validate if
copying files to a USB drive is a viable alternative.

My guess is schools want a printer if they can afford one. Let us know
what feedback shows it's a priority for existing XO deployments and
let's find out what printers they have and how they want to use them.

Thanks,

Greg Smith
