They don't need. Want, for listening to network printers announcing themselves. It's a very bad system, even then.

Have you ever seen a network printer announce itself by talking to a print daemon on port 631?

I’ve seen network printers announce themselves over DNS-SD/mDNS and over NetBIOS, AppleTalk, etc. All of those are a layer beneath the print daemon.
