Here is what I have done:
0) I already installed a C++ environment.

1) Downloaded cups source code from

2) Untar the code into a folder and ran the configure script from that folder. This needed a better grep so I installed it. Here is how to reproduce this:

Code:
# Install grep
download other.tar.gz from: http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php...3&d=1263114654

$root
$cd /
$tar zxvf /home/user/FolderWhereSaved/other.tar.gz

$cd <folder where cups was untared>
$./configure
3) Ran make

Code:
$make
This built all the code but failed when trying to convert man pages to HTML. (Segmentation Fault)

The next step is to either disable generating HTML during make or find out why it's seg-faulting and fix it.

I'm out of time for now (It's valentine's day!)

If any of you who want printing have half an hour, take the next step! When you run out of time, document how far you get and I or someone else will go from there.

One possible method for implementing this would be using the "Share" API. Most apps already support a "Share" button. Installing cups, plus a "Share" plugin would be pretty handy.

It would of course need to handle different document types, which would be more difficult but could support PDF files at first pretty easily.

Why wouldn't it? You can send image via BT!

Just wanted to add to the knowledge-base that my Epson Rx700 with a Bluetooth USB adapter plugged in (that in itself was a pleasant surprise to get working with little effort) accepts BT connections from the N900 using "Share" and prints photos very nicely.

just connect your n900 to printer via usb, then use printer browser search files you want to print, you can also scan pictures to n900

I have a bluetooth-enabled battery-powered HP portable printer. Printing photos is a minor concern, but I really need to print documents, emails, etc. Anyone know a way to print these via bluetooth from the N900?
