Of course it can do that. I do not understand what you want to say.
Would you agree to add such a warning?

IMO it is only slightly better since it is still a very big chance that
printing is broken.

We do not follow the API:s, that is basically why I think there is a big
chance that printing is broken. I believe the best we can do for the
users is telling them that there is a (big) chance that it will not work.
I can't understand how you can have another opinion in this simple
matter. I guess you try to base it on experience, but I think that is
problematic here.
