<title>Automatic print driver installation </title>
<para>
- In &PRODUCT; &PRODVER;, functionality has been added to leverage RPM and
PackageKit capabilities for automatic installation of printer drivers. When a user plugs
in any of the supported printers, the driver identifies itself to PackageKit, and once
authorized the driver is downloaded and installed automatically. Thanks to this change,
&PRODUCT; bootable Live images no longer need to ship all printer drivers. This
functionality equals or surpasses that of proprietary operating systems, where driver
support is difficult and time-consuming. It also continues to build on the new,
compelling functionality of free desktop components along with RPM.
