It's not like I didn't Google for a fix before re-installing the printer. I really have better things to do with my life than support Windows (which I hate), so I try to figure out how to get it done as quickly as possible. And, really, just because you haven't had this problem, doesn't mean I haven't had the problem. Driver problems are not unknown in Windows.

And BTW -- to you and everyone else I'm responding to -- I'm not writing any of this to convince anyone to quit using Windows ... I'm just letting folks know one of the main reasons (there are several others) why I quit using Windows and went to Linux. If you're happy with Windows I'm happy for you.
So you're saying that all devices "just work" in Linux? Because seriously, let's ask Gregg Bell about that. There's also this by Dngrsone
