This opinion plainly ignores that the port collection is sold along with the [basic system] FreeBSD CD distribution and that a minimum of working printer software is, in fact, essential - for any OS to be serviceable. - This to such a degree that the distributor of an OS cannot simply refer to 'third party applications', here. Everybody buying a car would look quite stange, if the vendor referred to the tires, for instance, as a 'third party product', for which he rejects all responsibility.
