    Weirdly enough I’ve found it much easier to print on linux. It just works out of the box.

    If it doesn’t it is definetly the printers manufacturer fault 😅

      It’s something we can thank Apple for. CUPS is the standard printing system on practically all non-Windows OSes, and Apple hired its developer and did a lot of work on improving it in the 2000s and 2010s.

      Me too. I have a Brother printer. When I first set it up, Windows printed everything in inverse black and white until I hunted down the correct driver. Windows also never figured out how to wake it up, so I always had to manually wake it up. And it simply never worked with the scanner.

      Linux got everything right without me having to fuss with anything.
