I can't think of anyone that doesn't have a printer.  All my friends and 
family that has a computer has a printer.  Heck, I had a printer hooked 
up to my old Vic-20 for goodness sake.  That was over 20 years ago.

He wants to remove the USE flag so that it hides the fact it is not 
really fixed.  If a person does their install as they should, the 
problem will be right there for them to deal with.  Of course, the user 
will the one getting pointed at since they added the flag.  It takes the 
problem off the people that created it and adds it to the user.  That is 
not how it should be fixed.
