Actually, IMHO, printing under Ubuntu is MUCH easier than printing
under Windows.
In Ubuntu I plug the printer in and BOOM! it's automagically set up

In Windows, I have to pop in the CD and run through the "Yes", "Yes",
"Yes" prompts which, if you don't pay attention, install all kinds of
extra crud on your computer. Then you have to re-boot.
And woe unto you if you decided to plug the printer in before the step
