None of that answers the question: How can I tell whether the printer I'm sending to is on an untrusted network, on an imaginary network created for a USB printer, or on a 1980s-style isolated LAN? Will the name of the network interface be displayed when I choose a printer? Will there at least be a visible difference between a permanently configured printer and an auto-found printer, so I can continue to have my printer configured and know that I'm sending to that one? Do I need to explain, detail by detail, the errors in the reasoning "People don't print on untrusted networks. Therefore any network with a printer on it is trusted.", or can people see the logical flaws on their own? Björn Persson
