KDE Plasma 6.5 Adds Notifications For Low Printer Ink Levels
One week ago in the KDE Plasma land it was talking about rounded bottom corners for windows by default while this week in the KDE Plasma space is another long overdue feature: notifications for Plasma around low printer ink cartridge levels. The upcoming KDE Plasma 6.5 will finally feature built-in notifications on printer ink levels running low.
The KDE Plasma integration with the print manager relies on the CUPS print server information for knowing about ink cartridge levels. The merge request had been open for two months and is now ready to go for the next Plasma release. The notifications will appear after a print job has been created and completed.
This Week in Plasma by KDE developer Nate Graham also notes that there have been enhancements around key repeat handling for global shortcuts, some dialog / notification improvements, and a variety of bug fixes.
Another notable KDE Plasma 6.5 addition to land this week is Pointer Warp support for Wayland in the KWin compositor with the pointer_warp_v1 protocol.
