There is one entry missing: "filters: makeshift drivers for some awkward printers"
Mhm. Awkward printers... I think we should use: "filters: makeshift drivers for printers from HP, Lexmark, Canon, Citizen, and Apple" :-) (Source: package description of "filters")
Perhaps "makeshift driver" is sufficient information so that it is clear for the user that those stuff is only a makeshift for a few crappy printers. "filters" is not a general driver package for printers from HP, Lexmark, Canon, Citizen, and Apple. In particular for HP printers the general driver package is "hplip". Furthermore the above "for a few crappy printers" does not mean that most printers out there are well suppported by free software. It means that a makeshift is only available for a few of those many crappy printer models out there. Most crappy printers are simply not supported at all by free software. I.e. aviod plain wrong user expectations and avoid user complaints and/or bugzilla reports like: "I have installed all your drivers for printers from HP, Lexmark, Canon, Citizen, and Apple, but my Lexmark inkjet doesn't work! FIX YOUR DRIVER IMMEDIATELY - I NEED MY PRINTER WORK NOW!!!"
