Hi,
in the course of creating the first Debian package of pappl-retrofit
(for Ubuntu) I have done some fixes and improvements on the 1.0b1
version and released them in version 1.0b2.
Besides many little fixes in the source code documentation I have added
support for the Legacy Printer Application being run permanently as a
system daemon. So distros can opt for this mode via a simple command
line option to the ./configure call.
This way a user who wants to continue using a certain CUPS printer
driver, which is installed as classic driver, only needs to install
their distro's Legacy Printer Application package, and create a printer
in the Legacy Printer Application's web interface.
Here we go:

There are also GitHub discussions set up for each release now.
