do notice I said character printers, not graphics printers. if you couldn't infer, anon was working on driving a character-based slip printer
>I wonder how far we are from innately class-compliant driver-free printers that just plug and play.
it's not profitable to enumerate every possible capability of printers extant and yet to be invented, and the drawing models of every printer framework for OSes extant and yet to be invented. manufacturers won't want to waste time and flash on providing a lowest common denominator unless it's HPGL which is already a de facto universal printer language if you don't look very closely
>universal printer spec
what vendor wants that? where's the differentiation? how will they be able to sell you (((services))) like ink subscriptions and lock you into their own products and consumables?
>printing from inkscape
you need to resize your page in Document Properties to do that, iirc. I did it a few times a few years ago
