Comment on Microsoft is withdrawing support for older printers' drivers

We have an old HP D110 (I think). Worked just fine with Windows 10. Works fine with Linux. Built my wife a new PC with Windows 11, and now it will only print 1 page every few minutes. Windows 11 never marks the print job as complete, so you have to wait for it to error out before it will start the next job. Microslop at its finest.

I have a similar issue. I am considering running a VM just to be able to print and scan.

Linux: where you run a VM because niche proprietary software won’t run on Linux.
Windows: where you run a VM because a multibillion dollar company can’t figure out generic printer drivers as well as underpaid (or volunteer) open-source developers.
