So every website that prints labels should solve that separately?

There is an age-old problem here: how to take content on the screen and produce a printed artifact. It’s not easy, and everyone hates printer drivers, and kernel permissions, etc.

But if you want any portability of content at all, you need something like a print dialog and something like a printer driver. All the WebUSB stuff is just embedding those problems into the application.
