It would be ideal to get in touch with them somehow, any help would
be appreciated (maybe someone could spend some IRC time in getting some
active people (email addresses) for us to follow-up with; there's bound
to be linux-specific printing channels out there) - I tried posting to
'a2ps' mailing-list, but it seems like my posts are simply disappearing
into the ether.

It would also be ideal to get in touch with the various printing groups
out there as well; as they might have some info on this topic,

Regards & volunteers are needed to take this on !!
