And, often, even with those printers, Linux developers have hacked driver solutions. It's obvious you haven't tried Linux (or haven't tried it in a long, long while) and are just depending on the Windows FUDsters for your "facts" about Linux.
I actually use Linux every day as part of my job, and have supported people on it--real people who need support (people like Gregg) who were convinced to switch because of old hardware or just "because it's better". The scenario I outlined was not "hyperventilating". It was an actual scenario that I had to deal with less than a year ago with a relative who switched because my son convinced him to, and then my son decided that he didn't want to deal with supporting him anymore.

Thanks for playing, though
