> I've found that lately, it seems like Ubuntu requires less fiddling than osx or windows, especially with printers & scanners.
I'd like to share that I have the same experience especially with 14.04. I work with huge array of industrial printer from digital to thermal(HP/Epson/Canon/Xerox/Zebra). Vendor only officially support Windows 7 64bit, but it works perfectly on Ubuntu 14.04 that upon our advice, one of our vendor started to recommend 14.04 for their other client.
