The last thing I want is every application to have a different interface to connect, configure and select printers. I think having it be a user-space library is a great idea but I would like that library to be provided by the OS. That way I can use a common interface for connecting and configuring defaults for printers that are then available in all apps. Then the app can use that library to fire jobs to the printer. (Maybe with some provided common UI component)

CUPS subsystem for Windows™
It would be Windows™ subsystem for CUPS.
