It’s less torturous with other brands of 2D printer.

Both my Brother laser and label printer have worked first time, every time with Linux, Windows and iOS AirPrint.

The fairly new HP laser printer I use is also simple -- just needed to select the appropriate driver in CUPS, and all the features I use are there.

Are the user-hostile features specific to the Windows drivers?
