I think printers is kinda going the way of having to support winmodems for Linux... Just not as important as it used to be.
Last time I printed something was for a pistol permit. 3 years ago. And I just sent that to Office Depot to print it, and picked it up on the way to the permit office.
Students at the local uni don't really need printers, either. Generally, the few times they do, there's public printers to email the doc to, and go pick up (Or, QR code and a phone, etc).
Personal printers just aren't that big of a deal these days.
