It Just Works: a happy tale of Linux and printers

"To be more precise: I bought a £50 Samsung ML-2240 mono laser printer, new, from Amazon. It arrived two days later. I unboxed it and plugged it into my Ubuntu 9.04 installation. It thought about it for a bit and emitted a selection of messages, but it proceeded smoothly, I only had to make one choice and that was it. It worked perfectly, first time. I then plugged it into a Windows XP laptop, and lo! The same experience."
