{laser printer}.

2. An analogous piece of software; notionally, one that does a

The hackish senses of "engine" are actually close to its
original, pre-Industrial-Revolution sense of a skill, clever
device, or instrument (the word is cognate to "ingenuity").
This sense had not been completely eclipsed by the modern
connotation of power-transducing machinery in {Charles
Babbage}'s time, which explains why he named the
stored-program computer that he designed in 1844 the
"{Analytical Engine}".
