I’ve noticed a general sentiment that printing on Linux is (or at least was) extremely cumbersome and difficult. Why is that?

    It depends on the brand I guess. Some Canon Pixma did immediately worked with my distro, like literally zero setup required. However, it refuses duplexing. It just won’t do it. Not driverless and not with gutenprint, although it lists the specific model, not when setting it as the default, not when setting it per job.

    Yet it works on Android no problem.
