Somebody please tell me this is going to improve. Printing is a fairly basic requirement, after all. I'd like to move my wife over to Linux, or recommend it to other novices, but there's no way they'll put up with this kind of crap. So here we are, trapped twixt the devil and the deep blue sea. On the one hand, viruses, blue screens and constant demands for cash to keep the system running; on the other, a GUI that needs a four-inch thick manual and a degree in computer science to do the simplest of jobs.
My experience is that you get *exactly* the same sort of grief using Windows. It's just a fact of life when printing that if you confuse the printer like this it gets lost.
