Yeah I remember being super confused that my printer just worked without any extra effort the first time I tried Linux!
I'm interested, because I'm having the opposite experience. I can not for the life of me get my HP network printer to work with Debian. I've added it through CUPS, and it works well for a bit, but then after a few restarts I have to add it again.
I've never owned a wifi printer which may be the difference - with all of the ones I've used in the past I just plugged them in via USB and they just worked!
