====Introduction====

:Printing had been one of the "to be taken as granted" features that Sugar lacked. And only after getting a working model done has it been a realisation to me why it had been abandoned. A lot of [re]engineering, brain-storming, design constraints, and factors such as dependencies and inclusion of concepts beyond any direct correlation with Printing, plus fighting with additional languages such as C,C++ and php had been a great overhead on me. So the outcome is definitely a bit clunky ( what I feel), but anyway~~, I assure you~~, I will be sticking with the project and Sugar and will definitely make it more concrete.

'''Instructions:'''

:1) Install the XO bundle to your activities folder. The dependencies will require you be as root.

:2) Download the PrintDeviceIcon from here: and place it in your sugar data folder, also note that you must have a copy of printscript.py in it.

:2) Download the PrintDeviceIcon from here:[http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/read/repos/print [X]] and place it in your sugar data folder, also note that you must have a copy of printscript.py in it.

:3) Download the following filter pack:

:4) untar it using : tar xvfz odftops.tar.gz

Line 34:

: mv odftops /usr/lib/cups/filter

: CHMOD 755 /usr/lib/cups/filter/odftops

: Set SELINUX (If you have it) to Permissive or do a restorecon on the filter folder.

:6) restart cups

:7) To sugar-100.gtkrc and sugar-72.gtkrc add: gtk-print-backends = "cups"

:Some experiments have determined that the default installation of Cups you have might not work and the filter may fail, so you might want to update to a newer Cups.

'''Moodle Print Module Installation'''

:Please follow this: [http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_contributed_modules_or_plugins#Module_installation Module installation]

:There is a video for this as well: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPUB_ReBPeg youtube link]
