Portland Linux/Unix Group Meeting Announcement

Who: Daniel Hedlund
What: CUPS Unix Printing
Where: PSU, 1930 SW 4th Ave. Room FAB 86-01 (Lower Level)
When: Thursday, November 1st, 2012 at 7pm
Why: The pursuit of awesome, open technologies.

See location H-10 on the PSU map at http://pdxLinux.org/campus_map.jpg

Daniel will take us down the rabbit hole to explore how CUPS, and other 
pieces of the printing infrastructure used by most distros, works behind 
the scenes to ensure [print] really does, or in many cases doesn't, 
"print". Don't blow your queue! Come to the talk
and learn how DBUS interacts with CUPS, what a PPD file actually does 
and how to debug why your printer turned into a black hole.

Bonus: if time and interest permits, I am happy to give my BHyVe 
Hypervisor talk that I gave in Warsaw and will give this weekend at 
MeetBSD. http://bhyve.org
