It's partially that. It's also because printers do suck more now. Had an HP 5p in the 90s that was a workhorse, reliable as hell, and would simply print whatever you sent. period.
Fair enough, printers suck! Laser printers seem to be less of a racket than inkjets, but still..
I tried older HP PSC 1315 on Windows 11.
Windows 11: Cannot find drivers, use manufacturer's website.
HP: Windows will automatically download drivers, no downloads are provided.
Uuuh... thanks?
Soooooo... archive.org.
I feel like there was definitely a golden age for printers, because when I was a kid we had an Epson Stylus Color 800 that was literally Satan crammed into a shitty beige box, but my HP LaserJet from like 2012 is still going strong.
