The new version of Ubuntu will be compatible with Apple's AirPrint systems

There are two days until the first alpha version of Ubuntu 17.04, a version that promises quite a few new features as we have seen in the latest news, but there are also other news that many Ubuntu users will surely appreciate.

This novelty refers to printers that are compatible with Ubuntu. Especially printers compatible with Apple printing systems. I am not referring to CUPS, a server that Apple supports and that we already know is present in Ubuntu and other Gnu / Linux distributions. But to be able to connect Ubuntu with Apple's AirPrint system.

Cada vez wireless printers are more common, printers that work via bluetooth or Wifi. These devices do not work very well in current operating systems, at least not as well as users would like.

More and more users are installing Ubuntu on their MacBook and using Airprint

This aspect seems to change in Ubuntu with Ubuntu Zesty Zapus. A) Yes, AirPrint and other wireless printing systems will be incorporated by default in the distribution, facilitating the use of these devices, but also allowing configuration without extra installations.

On the other hand, users who use Ubuntu within Apple computers are more and more and for that reason they look for programs and solutions that allow the installation of Ubuntu in a MacBook. That is why this novelty does not surprise many but rather they see it as something useful and necessary for many.

Despite all this, this will still be a development in the new version of Ubuntu, that is, It may have some other bug or error that does not allow its full operationEven the final version may not arrive for Ubuntu 17.04 but for Ubuntu 17.10, but it is something that will come to Ubuntu and our computers.
