Love reading stories like this, shows how amazingly far Linux desktop has come over the last 10 years.
Even Linus had to admit after their botched Linux challenge that printing is just so much easier vs Windows

That’s a bit overblown, even on Arch you basically install CUPS, start it, plug in your printer and you’re good to go with most printers, especially IPP ones. Even autodiscovery with mDNS works! Just need to be on the same WiFi network and the printers just show up in the list.

It’s one of the things that usually is a better experience than Windows, because Windows printing is absolutely ancient and hasn’t been upgraded in forever.
