printing is bad regardless of OS. Learn to draw and type very well and you will never need a printer, also curse everyone that forces you to use printers they should be shunned from society. We will have full digitalisation by bullying if necessary

    Printers are something they've actually figured out on the last few years.

    I can go somewhere I've never been, get the login for the network, and print documents from my phone without any downloading drivers, sacrificing goats or anything.

    I hooked up a 2013 printer to my new wifi network, opened a pdf on my phone, clicked "print" and selected the printer from the dropdown list. No driver installation. No special app for the printer. It just works.

    I'm convinced they'll never figure out a practical solution to take technical drawings out to construction sites digitally (battery life, limited screen size, dirt, hazardous atmospheres, the unwillingness of my boss to pay for expensive specialized hardware ....). Other than that I'm with you.

    Printers are bad under Windows because Windows supports nothing out of the box

    That's simply not true anymore. Most printers work on windows locally and through a network without any special driver installations these days.

    You can buy a printer, a computer, and a wifi adapter, network them together, and start printing without installing any printer utilities or additional drivers.

    They've come a long way in this area.
