Have you ever printed anything on Linux before?
Yes, and my printer was found immediately through the network and the print quality was great. Guess it depends on the brand though, and maybe the distro you're using.
I'm making a joke about how if he's ever used printing in Linux, he's likely a "fool with no brain" as it uses CUPS, which is maintained in large part by Apple.
Shit, that went right above my head.
Printing in Linux has mostly been plug and play for years now. I just gave it the IP of my printer and it automagically set everything up. Scanning was a bit of a bitch.
CUPS is dated for sure, but most modern OSes (OpenSuse here) have wrappers around it to make the setup pretty straightforward.
We really need an alternative to CUPS. Unfortunately, that will probably just be systemd swallowing up printing too.
