What protocol is missing from Wayland?

Yes Wayland doesn't have a printer protocol like Xorg, I know.

This is an incomplete list of protocols that aren't part of core Wayland. Compositors implement additional protocols that aren't even part of this process (e.g. wlr-screencopy-unstable). See the wlroota protocols here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/tree/master...

Right but there's the xdg-portal for screen capture which runs through Pipewire and supports sand-boxing (because its negotiated over dbus), which all the main compositors support.

Just because a protocol isn't part of Wayland, doesn't mean a standard protocol does not exists.
