Printing is sometimes its hell to setup, and I won't deny that. But
once setup, our printer drivers kick the windows drivers clear into the
next drainage for quality of output. Particularly if your printer is
an epson. I've also been running an epson 1250u scanner and getting
great results for a $100 scanner for quite some time. Crawl out from
under your windows equipt rock and smell the success once in a while.
