Hey, when Linux has a standard 3d printing platform, call me. But I'm pretty sure that the OSS Community is either going to copy Microsoft's protocol... or wait several years before they are 3d printer capable.

If Linux can be 3d printer capable within a couple of years, I'll honestly be surprised. And Mac doesn't seem to be going in that direction either. In this area, Windows is clearly superior by default. Microsoft has defined some 3d printing API, and there is no competitor out there for them.
