On (non-MacOSX) unix we have "spadmin" the printer administration tool.
Over the years the amount of stuff it does has been reduced, e.g. it no longer admins fonts, that's done through fontconfig now. It now no longer provides a font-substitution tab page as that's redundant functionality now. It now no longer provides a route to migrate your archaic StarOffice printer configuration to the current one. So what's left: a) you can "connect a fax device" b) you can "connect a PDF converter" c) you can "add a printer" d) you can disable cups support I would like to simplify the situation to "we use cups" and remove spadmin and all its many associated dialogs and tabpages in favor of the system printer management software. So the question is if any part of spadmin is still useful? Is there anyone still configuring fax machines or using the other options there, and if so for what purpose ? The last time I tried to get rid of spadmin (in 2004) in Fedora there was push back because there were still people using fax machines. 10 years later, is this still the case ? If this is still a relevant use case then I can invest a little time in examining the fax-cups options out there and figure out how to correctly send the destination phone number to them and recommend that as the new fax support mechanism.
