I'm a bit lost. Where does it say this module is discontinued? I just had a look at Win32::Printer (on CPAN) and didn't see anything in the documentation.

At first I thought it was vapourware, but is seems like it's been around for a while. If you're currently using it, you still can. If you're not, it might just work as is anyway. If you ask around, you might find someone who already uses it a lot, and might want to take over maintenance.
