I had to do this today on my wife’s laptop. The settings menu just wouldn’t do it. It just sat there for a thousand years.

Just 3 days ago I had to use the control panel to access the settings I needed to get my parents’ printer to work right. Even tried to use the regular settings menu for maybe 10 minutes before remembering how to access the settings I needed. Here’s hoping my parents never run into printer issues again (lol).
FUCK YOU, MICROSOFT!

I recently added a printer to my PC. Having to launch that antique spooler window from like Windows 3.1 to print is a bit hilarious

Yeah I see this as more of a “Printers are an antiquated technology that hasn’t changed much in the last 30+ years” problem.

Printers are fortunately “plug and play” on Linux.
Connect printer to the network. Hit the print button. Select printer from the dropdown. Boom. Done.

In fact, they are going to remove third-party printer drivers and replace them with universal drivers. Link
