The fedi experience@MontgomeryGator @funbaker @babe somebody said "printer" ? I regularly get requests from neighbours to help them to rein in their printers, and no, they run Windows or macOS, where it's all "just works (tm)".
Once a wasted a couple of hours, to no avail, on one such case.My dear better half, a professor of CS in Oxford, asks me to print stuff for her on a regular basis. She does theory, uses a Windows machine. I do it from Linux for her, cause it works much better (or if it doesn't then at least I can see what's wrong).
Don't get me started on proprietary vs free software for printing. Printers nowadays are full of sh*t, don't come with right drivers, etc. Once I went as far as submitting a bug report to Xerox and to Google to enable printing on a Xerox printer from a Chromebook. I told them what file they have to put and where. Xerox never replied. Google replied they have a license problem to add this file to their driver. Screw the user, they won't move a finger...
