Silly, silly man. Don't you know that front end web developers know best? Stop fighting them already! The OS is dead. Local is dead. Long live the cloud!

When I left google in 2010, Chrome was just growing its replacement system printer dialog. I mocked it mercilessly, and nobody could really give me a good reason outside "we need stuff to do"

I get that there are some options in how to interpret the web page into print, but... yeah. Ugh.
But I also think this is related to the arrogance of "the OS doesn't provide the service exactly the way we like, we're going to create an entirely new mechanism..." and not integrate well with the platform services that is *so* prevalent in software.
