[Groff] PDF printing coming

[Michail Vidiassov]

Portable Document Format (PDF) is set to displace PostScript as the standard 
print job transfer and processing format for Linux, though Linux will 
maintain PostScript support for a long time to ensure backward 
compatibility.

This switch was agreed upon at last week's Linux Desktop Printing Summit. 
Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) and Linuxprinting.org organized the 
meeting, which was hosted by Lanier (a Ricoh corporation) at its Lanier 
Education Center in Atlanta.
At the meeting there was virtually no disagreement about the change. The 
fine details will have to be thrashed out over the coming months, but 
representatives from CUPS, Ghostscript, Linuxprinting.org, KDE, GNOME, 
hardware vendors (present were people from Epson, HP, IBM, Lanier, Lexmark, 
Ricoh, Sharp, and Xerox), and developers of free drivers all agreed that PDF 
will give them more power, more reliability, and more control over the 
printing process.
