The basic functions are all implemented and the next step is to increase performance. ==== Background ==== Current approaches use awkward or time-consuming solutions like proprietary software or snycing files via cloud services. These problems should be solved now by this project. ==== Publications ==== ---- datatemplatelist ---- template: publications:list_template cols : %title%, authors_, date, short-description, abstract, pdf_url, bibtex_url, video_url, photo, published-in sort : date filter : %pageid%~publications:* and : project=epaper ---- ==== Resources ==== https://github.com/Lyniat/Dumb-e-Paper \\ https://www.cups.org \\ https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1179 ==== News / Blog ==== ---- datatemplatelist ---- template: news:list_template cols : %title%, date, description sort : ^date filter : tags ~~ epaper, CUPS, LPD, printing, e-Ink ----
