Printing is still needed and still frustrating

From my experience, printers are still unreliable (especially in Linux, but not just in Linux). Printers disappear from printing dialogs randomly. Jobs get lost or get stuck without explanation. When a printer gets reset and generates a new certificate, the software cannot deal with it. Settings get forgotten. When one needs to print an invoice on one printer and a label on another, the printer needs to be selected every timeāit shouldn't take AI to select the right printer and set color output for the invoice and grayscale for the label.
