Beeftweeter posted:cups supremacy thanks to cups setting up printers is now actually easier on linux of all things than windows. go to the print settings, have it automatically detect your network printer and hit 'ok'. done. trying to setup the same printer on windows requires, at minimum, the 'slim' driver package that's still 40 megs and installs a bunch of bullshit "ORDER MORE INK" icons everywhere.

naw, it just comes with a handful of common drivers, and if you need something for a lovely home office printer you just picked up from staples, it'll download them for you

THC posted:we have a cheap wifi printer and windows assumes its going to have the same ip forever so if its ip ever changes and you want to print on windows you have to reinstall the printer lol an extra 500 mb of install space just to make sure a printer is still installed even if another pc's ip changes

Sagebrush posted:well, it used to. i haven't installed os x in a long time. Yes, but now that people have broadband internet connections there's no longer a need. OS X automatically downloads the necessary printer driver, and updates it it a new driver is released. edit: Apple owns CUPS and employs the main CUPS developer(s). They even added an exemption to CUPS' open source license that allows companies to make closed-source CUPS drivers but only for OS X.
