[Sugar-devel] Status of printing support?

I have spoken with the developers of the GoSC [1] Andres Ambrois and Vamsi
Krishna Davuluri about this topic, some time ago I've spoken with Tomeu too.
I have read the discussion about this topic on the list [2] and I am not
sure if the community has a consensus about the solution.

About GoSC, I have tested the Print activity and works fine.

I've wrote a new wiki page about this feature, with the goal of separate the
work done on GoSC and the feature that we want in Sugar [3].  A solution
could be add an option to the journal to print some types of entries. Here
in Uruguay the first goal is to bring the possibility of print using a local
printer.

I know that Vamsi wants to work on this feature, and obviously me too.


Finally, sorry for the delay!
