Ah, but for those who use multiple printers, it's a wonderful way of switching printers, as well as for checking up on jobs that are printing. I remember many years ago, in the first years of the Mac, that I was using a Xerox dedicated desktop publishing system. It was wonderfully WSIWYG, and it had the feature of dragging files to the printer icon to print. At the time, I thought it was a wonderful feature, and wished that somebody else would imitate this feature. I was consequently delighted when it came to the Mac. In fact, I hacked my OS 7.1 Mac so it could run the software. Even today, I still drag items to print on occasion. Part of my problem is that it was never really integrated as it could have been. For instance, in my Entourage, I have the icon of the email in the title bar, but I can't drag that icon to a printer to print, like I would expect, and want. :-( I suppose that X has gotten rid of these things? I've never read anything discussing the titlebar icons...
