The technology I am referring to (as I think you very well know) is the
printing system. No more, no less. Nowadays that system often relies on
printer/print queue Bonjour broadcasts. Not only that, but printers have
changed considerable since lprng was conceived and it is completely
unable to handle them. Tex, on the other hand, is still able to handle
document processing.

dbus "...is redundant for typical server software" appears to deserve
some explanation.

"old" doesn't work for modern printing systems. Otherwise, I couldn't
care less what a user uses.
