I’ve noticed a general sentiment that printing on Linux is (or at least was) extremely cumbersome and difficult. Why is that?

    I have the exact opposite experience. It always prints and although it only prints about 6 pages per minute, it starts immediately. However, I have an old-ish HP laser printer without the crappy adware.

    My next printer will not be a HP for that reason.

      Teach me your ways. I don’t have a very new model, I think it’s a 4130e or something. Do you use CUPS?
