Install a Printer is easier in Linux than Windows
This is just another real case showing that Linux has become way much easier than Windows:
My daughter has a netbook with Windows XP, I have a Laptop with Ubuntu 9.10
We have a printer HP Deskjet 460 that we used today to print a drawing that my girl was making.
-In Windows XP, we plugged the printer, it detected some device asked for autodetection, I say yes, it did not found anything suitable…It asked to try via Windows Update, it found nothing, we choosed to specify model… It’s not listed…. we choosed similar models.. did’n worked…
My girl was irritated, so I said, OK let’s make a PDF email it to me and let’s try in Ubuntu:
-In Ubuntu I plugged the printer, it was deteced, installed, and we printed the drawing, just like that!
