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...

The big ones missing for me are accessibility support (ie, screen readers) and mouse/keyboard input support for basic things like keyboard sharing.
