Hyperion announces OS 3.1 update

The more relevant question is probably "will there be a printer.device". Quite frankly, which printers do you want to connect to the Amiga, and how? Parallel printers are hard to get, except in a museum, and printers you can get are most likely not supported by any printer driver we have. So what exactly do you plan to do?

Probably just about any current printer can be used with a PostScript driver - if you don't mind printing through a PC or RaspberryPi. There are some network printing utilities on Aminet (like http://aminet.net/package/comm/tcp/NetPrinter or http://aminet.net/package/comm/tcp/lpr-dev) - it should be possible to print via properly configured Linux machine.

So I wouldn't remove the printer support.

Thomas, any chance to include GhostBuster (hiding invalid disks depending on user settings) functionality in the improved Workbench?

That's perfectly OK, I only asked - in fact, I have asked for this particular feature only because it seems very simple to implement (one more value for already existing configuration parameter + few more C statements to determine if disk icon should be displayed)... at least from the point of view of someone, who didn't see the Workbench 3.9 source code

Better yet - ask using the Version command
