Description Michael Weghorn 2025-01-24 07:34:06 UTC 
# Current situation

LibreOffice has a WIP CPDB support that was implemented in an earlier GSoC project, but CPDB has evolved in the meantime and current CPDB versions are not supported.

# Expectation

LibreOffice should support current CPDB versions and through CPDB also the upcoming version of CUPS, CUPS 3.
