Except the myriad of protocols and driver issues. Contemporary printer is, how you should not have implenented it, just because it was done like that in the 70s.
Seriously, why does my PC need to know how that piece of curses has to handle a pdf?
Yeah but I like that stuff. It gives me options so I have a more space to work around unruly printers. I can't tell you how many times an outdated generic driver from the dark ages was the fix I needed. Especially helpful when working with clients using proprietary software that doesn't play well with others.
