File talk:CUPS-block-diagram.svg

This was NOT entirely made by Davis80! It is based on Image:CUPS-diagram.png, made by myself, which is itself based on LinuxPrinting.org Design of CUPS Filtering System (by Kurt Pfeifle, who also designed the similar chart included in the Samba HOWTO Collection And Reference Guide).

I do appreciate a vector version, incidently. Just give credit where credit is due! - Ta bu shi da yu 00:31, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

This was my first image upload (I plead ignorance!) and I based my metadata entry on another SVG image on the same page. That happened to be a poor example and I was confused how to tag "derivative works". I have more recently found [], which explained the license templates better.

So please accept my apology for choosing the incorrect GDFL template and attributing the creative portion to myself. I will be more careful in the future and only use the GDFL-self template with entirely new works, not derivative works. Hopefully Ta bu shi da yu and Kurt Pfeifle are now properly attributed, the correct GDFL template has been used, and everyone is happy. Davis080 15:41, 24 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks Davis80 :-) Like I say, I appreciate the work you put in to the SVG. - Ta bu shi da yu 05:28, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Where is IPP?
The CUPS article says that CUPS uses IPP for receiving and scheduling print jobs, i.e. in the "frontend" of the server. The image does not show that. IPP is only shown as one of multiple possible backend drivers, which seems to be something completely different. It looks like the image was just copied from another document, not drawn to match the article, which may confuse the reader rather than clarify things. If the image only displays some part of the CUPS system (the filtering system?), then this should be clearly pointed out, or better yet, the image should be extended to encompass all of the CUPS system.
