On a marginally related question... Does anyone know how to deal with non-HP printers for HP's ePrint technology? It seems that HP has a check to make sure the printer is an HP product (even though it meets the ePrint requirements). So, even though I have an ipp networked printer that supports PCL, ePrint complains that it is an unsupported printer.

I think what is needed is an ipp proxy that will announce itself as an HP device and relay to the non-HP printer.

Could cloud printing to legacy printers be supported in OI?
I e could the printer queues in OI be made cloud aware and cloud responsive??
I'm not aware of any cloud printing services to traditional "legacy" devices 
aside from those offered by Google. And as far as I know, it's entirely dependent on the 
Chrome browser and the cloud print extension. So it would require an effort to either 
port Chrome to OI or Solaris or extract that functionality from the browser extension and 
integrate it in to the OS. So if you're eager to use cloud printing right away with OI, 
I'd recommend upgrading your printer instead.
