Has Apple abandoned CUPS, the Linux's world's widely used open-source printing system? Seems so

Schadenfreude

I always feel a sense of schadenfreude that my wife has constant trouble printing stuff out from her idevices and MacBook to our old crappy laser printer shared over the network by CUPS. She normally gets fed up after several attempts and then emails her crap to me to print it out. I never have any trouble at all on Windows, Linux or Android.

"But this software is maitained by Apple!" I keep telling her when she has one of her rants about how shitty the printer is.

Sadly won't be able to use that excuse any more...

However thank you cups for continuing to make our decade-old laser printer sing. Cheap third party cartridges and the lack of ink that dries out make it an absolute bargain to print out, and it's always there waiting to splurge out more pages full of crap.
