Printer drivers are deprecated and will stop working in a future version of CUPS. See https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups/issues/103Reading that issue it seems that this program will be needed to continue to operate my printer in the future.
yes, though the future is not that near. At the moment you are running cups v2 with probably printer-driver-gutenprint. When cups v3 is ready for production (maybe end of this year), you need to use a printer application in case your printer does not support IPP Everywhere. At least for Forky I am trying to make both cups v2 and cups v3 available and either of them can be used. So you might need to buy a new printer before cups v2 is gone :-).
