Well, there are a lot of commands and a lot of models, but the product of
these two is not absurdly large.  You'd achieve the highest level of
flexibility by using a matrix of models and commands.  When you try to
print something, you know the model number of your printer, and you can
check to see if it implements the latest command.  If so, use it, if not,
drop back to an older version.

This way, you don't have to worry about trying to classify printers.  There
are too many special cases and I'm afraid there may be more in the future.
