@Jean-Pierre Lambert: excellent insight, i couldn’t agree more. I think Google’s execs definitely learned their lesson with Google Voice on the iPhone; expect their version of cloud printing to be 100% HTML(5).

Just a little thought around the lean back/forward thought that I believe gets mixed up a bit.
It´s easy thinking that:
forward = “production” = work
back = “consumption” = leisure

And therefore the lean back and do work thing seems odd.
However, games are a very much a lean forward activity which is not work (except for game developers!).
And doing “work” while leaning back to think instead of just doing, is something that I believe most people do from time to time.

So I think not trying to fit a device as a lean back or forward would be help clear things out!

Thanks for an interesting blog!

Ps. Don´t want to go into the ergonomics of doing things without leaning in any direction, but keeping a balanced posture where the skeleton works as intended and muscles are not use in a proper way, seen from the perspective of martial arts and Feldenkrais

There are already some standards such as Pictbridge/PTP, iPrint, PPML etc.which are designed to provide a device-independent printing interface.

If the above-mentioned “IP Printing” is in actuality “IPP”, that takes care of the transport only, not the driver.

Another way would be to bridge the output via a page-description format like PDF or Postscript first, but as those two in particular are controlled by Adobe, they might be persona-non-grata in the Apple universe these days..

Hello Jean-Louis,

“The next step for Apple or an enterprising developer would be to take my file, convert it somewhere in the cloud, and then send it to my printer without asking me to deal with the plumbing.”

This is more or less the idea of Google Cloud Print. We can hope that something like this will work in the not-so-distant future if Google works on it.

Keep up the interesting articles!
