Comment (by laplace):

 '''Removal of native printer drivers'''

 I am the first to remove them, however that needs an objective
 investigation of the pros and cons. Since I don't have a printer anymore
 that is supported by a native driver, I cannot do that. Until the results
 are available, at least I won't remove them.

 For example the native drivers should be faster and at least for b/w
 printing the quality should be on par. The Gutenprint driver should offer
 more configuration options for fine tuning, but everything else is
 (almost) identical, as the native drivers and Gutenprint are based on the
 same (inofficial) Haiku printer driver framework (libprint).

 '''Relabeling the setup dialog
 and
 changing of transport add-on names (USB, LPR)
 '''

 Yes, please provide suggestions/illustrations. I wanted them for a long
 time.

 BTW can you try not to indent the text in the description this way, it
 makes it hard to read and it doesn't make sense to me.
