I’ve noticed a general sentiment that printing on Linux is (or at least was) extremely cumbersome and difficult. Why is that?

    I have a HP printer and printing is never a smooth process. No idea why, but it takes me 5/10 minutes each time

      From my experience I’ve had to deal with their software adware for which I’ve had to close pop ups and upsell ads before I could do anything with their printers, so that might be why it takes long to print a simple page

      You’re using an HP, they’re trash.
