Take Your Camera To - The Maharajah's Well

What is the link between India and the quiet English village of Stoke Row, near Henley On Thames?

The Alliance announced the formation of Mopria on September 24. It believes it will make printing from devices much easier with newly developed interfaces that give mobile operating systems more simplified printing software and allow apps to draw on that ability.
