Why should there be any information about Mopria on Debian websites? Mopria is not a standards organiation. It is mainly a marketing organisation that promotes printing and scanning with an Android phone over WiFi. It is a closed (members-only) organization. A single device is the focus of their attentions. Nothing wrong with that. A Mopria certified printer uses IPP Everywhere for infrastructure networks. IPP Everywhere *is* a printing standard and documented quite well on our wiki. >From my records, the device you intend buying is Mopria certified. This isn't of any significance when printing from, say, Firefox because the printing system is set up to use AirPrint's Apple raster by default. In other words, Mopria certification doesn't give you anything. I cannot imagine why it has been given such prominence. We're getting complicated. Just buy the damn printer and use it :). > PS: there was a "Reply-To: debian-user@lists.debian.org" header in the > mail you were replying to.

I wish you had refrained from complaining in this thread. I have nothing else to say on the matter. -- Brian.
