Comment on How to build a printer

Pretty cool work! And it’s nice to see printer discovery works through the standard mDNS!

Regarding the size of the page being sent to the printer, I remember reading that printers used to be postscript interpreters and the result of that program would be the page.

Perhaps that would trade ram for compute, but might be more complex in the end.
