They're proposing standards for all the levels, so, in theory, other "cloud printer" providers could do what they do.

So, in theory, it's not lock-in to their cloud.

In practice, who else is going to do this?

I suppose if there were a common OSS solution that one could run per-company or per-workgroup, that'd be great.
