ELI5 - in light of all our advances in wireless technology, why are printers still such a pain point in operating with devices?

I know that things are much better than they used to be, but given the seamless integration we have across so many other devices these days, both hardware and software — I feel as though the amount of average technical issues we face with printers to this day is much higher than it should be.

The problem isn't technology, it's standardization. Look through your list of print drivers and there are 1000's. It's hard to make anything work with that large of a group, especially when they are all doing their own thing. Until a market leader emerges and standardizes the system, printing will be a pain.
