It would shock me. Bonjour printing Just Works.
It's also the only way I know of to print from an iDevice.
The 2.5 year old HP B110a printer I have at home has never been physically
connected to a computer.
It has "virtual USB" drivers for Windows, but for everything else it's DNS-SD.
What I find most telling is that after 25 years, printers are still the
canonical
example of the "need" for SD. But printers have entire programs/wizards that
support their existence, so they're really lousy as a canonical example. It
would
be nice for things to attach themselves to my net and not require their awful
apps
to be installed.
So you never use music collections on other devices, videos from a video
server, or throw your laptop screen to a local plasma display for easy viewing
by a group? Those are just typical examples of common uses. The problem
though is that without manual intervention you only see the services in your
local subnet.
Nope. What do I type into with my browser to do all of that? If the answer
doesn't
involve my web browser, you've most likely lost me.
We *really* have to keep in mind the lcd here.
