You asked about the "classic" printers we both (apparently) own.  Mine
here still support being addressed via LPR/LPD, not to mention PCL,
postscript, etc.

Can't speak for your users, but mine don't know their print jobs are
(still) backed by LPD/LPR.  But then again, they don't notice much
beyond "does facebook work today".  Good people, just not the most
technical.
