What does that have to do with anything? How do you think MS word users
would react if Microsoft told them that printing wasn't in the GUI
modules anymore, it was now in the printing modules? Does the word
"Huh?" come to mind? It's not an end-user effect, it's a internal thing.
And what if MS word users were told that they can only print at 640X480
resolution? That's the equivelent of telling Unix users they can only
print under X.

Which is Windows major technical problem - lack of appropriate
seperation and modularity. It's nice to have a system where, if the
printing demons die, nothing but printing is affected.
I admit there's a problem, but you haven't shown any reasons why there
should be a connection between X and printing.
