It's not that bad, today. I get better printer support in GNU/Linux
than I do in Windows. As long as one stays away from the very cheapest
garbage around (looking at you, Epson), buying a printer is fairly
safe to do without researching beforehand. Though one should anyway,
obviously.

Furthermore, it's more common with printers connecting directly to the
network. GNU/Linux's got that corner covered a long time.
