That's been invented in the eighties, it's called PostScript, which is a precursor to PDF. You sent a PostScript file to the printer, and the printer evaluated PostScript and printed the result. Except, with the spread of home printers, processing was moved into the drivers to eliminate costly electronics from printers.

But postscript is the document description, not the transport. And pdf now, because base pdf is simpler & more secure than postscript.

There are about a dotzen transport protocols in a printers settings.
