After a decade without a printer at home, I bought one this year for WFH, a HP Tango X. "Installing" meant getting it on wifi via WPS, after which it was immediately visible and usable on Mac, iPhone, Android. On Windows it was visible under printers, but it started to download some extra HP software before it would allow printing for the first time.
I don't see the point of plugging a printer into anything. How would I plug it into my phone?

I think the answer to both of our questions is that other people have very different workflows, so something that might be a show-stopper or a killer feature for one person could be an afterthought for another.
- em500 6y ago> "Why would I ever want to print from my phone?" Because the thing I want to print is already on my phone? I don't move stuff that's on my laptop that I want to print to my phone first, nor the other way around. Both seem somewhat pointless.
