My HP laser all-in-one requires an app that I need to log in every week or so to print in Windows and sometimes it simply can't find the network printer with the fixed IP that's in the same place as it's always been

When I switched to mint a couple of weeks ago I was afraid I wouldn't be able to use it, but I was impressed that Linux was able to find and install the printer and scanner super quickly and never had any issues printing with it
