I'm printing to a PDFPrinter.. doesn't matter. It might matter if you press
save after print.. {Print doesn't trigger a change, which is weird if you
desire to save printer status inside a document..[

No

Well, say you have the Printer with same name by accident.. however in a
different environment.. take lovely network printer with hell of a lag.. that
will be the default (if stored in file).

If there is no match, it's probably obsolete..

Well printers (or maybe I'm confusing the Printer spoolers mess) are an attack
vector. Printer means drivers.. drivers means bugs.. bugs means.. access
point.. Obviously a long shot :-)

Major point.. What's the history related to this feature. What was the
initially idea and context. And does it match today's world.

It might had a propose (sense), but does it still hold true?
