I agree there. Printing on paper is a " done" task.

That was not really my argument. I do not see the reason to /require/ dbus to be able to simply print to a huge class of devices (HP). Especially after decades of printing without it.

If you have a system use case without dbus, then you cannot print. This is plain wrong to me.
