The only thing I've done with pam is
# cd /etc/pam.d
# diff login~ login
87c87
< session    optional   pam_motd.so  motd=/run/motd.dynamic

Removing pam would probably not affect me at all.
I guess pam was an attempt to centralize auth things, before pam it was 
ever daemon to its own. Useing pam doesn't hinder some daemon to ignore 
it, depending how it is written. So you have to check booth pam and 
daemon settings, it seems.

Isn't printing about converting your ps/pdf file to some obscure format 
and dump it to port 9000 on printer, how hard could that be ?
Or even better just send your postscript to the printer.

I wouldn't complain if pam goes, I currently don't care.
