It would be nice to have updated printer drivers but I know that's unlikely to happen, however Postscript and PCL printers continue to be useable and very handy to have available.

There won't be anything to stop you using the existing version of printer.device and the various drivers if they meet your needs, or Turboprint for example. I think the main essence of his post is that it's not worth spending a lot of time on. If the current printer.device works well for you, what updates does it need?
Personally, I think it's a pain to use and needs a complete overhaul, not a couple of minor fixes. It's improved in OS4, but still lacks drivers for most modern printers so it's still very limited.
