This really is baffling to me and it seems to me a mission anal retentiveness rather than to be useful in the real world!!! The Printer Drivers / printer.device were ALWAYS rubbish and are not worth updating! Everyone who wanted to use a printer on their classic who didn't want to be limited to a centronix era dot-matrix monstrousity bough TurboPrint period.
Period? Speaking for yourself, of course. I quite happily used HP printers on my parallel port without purchasing TurboPrint -- in fact I only learned of its existence around OS3.9 when people were discussing broken print drivers and how to roll them back.
