re: #200 Dread Pirate Whitebeard

I had to give up Linux because the drivers for my printer were only commercially available for more than the cost of Windows. So I bought Windows for the free printer drivers.

The cost of my first printer was subsidized by the nearly immediate need of ink cartridge replacements :). Printing in Linux can be a PITA for sure. I have had good luck with an old HP officejet printer/fax/copier thing. Once my system could print to it, it was not hard to make it a print server for my wife running WIndows on her laptop.
