[Printing-architecture] Continue the OpenPrinting Activities

[Ira McDonald]

Hi Glen,

Apologies for my slow reply - very busy with Samsung work this week.

Next week, I expect to finish my usual OPS Summary (excerpts from
slides, discussions, and action items) - got diverted by Samsung stuff.

Cheers,
- Ira
