I have my grump list for Linux, too. Tried to install it once on an HP laptop, 
and the installer crashed with some long error message in hex. Like a good boy, 
I posted a bug report on it on the distro seb site. One of their devs closed it 
the next day because I wouldn't attach a remote debugger to it.

The Ubuntu printer install isn't any better than Microsoft's. I wonder what it 
is about printers. I can plug in USB drives, internal drives, all sorts of 
things, and they just work.

Even when it's working, the simplest things fail. I learned to never queue a 
second job until the first one is completely finished, else it botches up both jobs.

It's not like it's a weird printer, either. It's an HP LaserJet, fer chrissakes.
