That’s been invented in the eighties, it’s called PostScript, which is a precursor to PDF. You sent a PostScript file to the printer, and the printer evaluated PostScript and printed the result. Except, with the spread of home printers, processing was moved into the drivers to eliminate costly electronics from printers.
Just think, once we all die off, no more printers.
The 3d printers are so cool though.
Sorry, no printers.
The responsibility of knowing how to use a printer skips a generation, much like male pattern baldness.
TIL my grandpa made me color blind and balding, that dead sonofaremoved
So, I’m reading two false claims, and I’ve got a long line of highly proficient bald family members to prove it
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Hopefully finally only one.single.protocol to simply move pdf to printer?

But postscript is the document description, not the transport. And pdf now, because base pdf is simpler & more secure than postscript.
There are about a dotzen transport protocols in a printers settings.
