Making Linux Printing as Easy as in Windows

Sure Linux is rock solid stable, and has an almost totally customizable GUI, but dammit, if my hardware won't work, what's the point? ...After hearing about TurboPrint, and their claim to provide 'Printer set-up and configuration is as simple as on Windows or MacOS,' I had to rise to the challenge.

fp?
Yeah!
(19:33) < brunes> A customer at Subway's Hampton Avenue shop asked the person preparing his sandwich not to include spicy pepperoncini - a request that the preparer promptly poo-poohed: "Do you think this is a Burger King?" she allegedly asked and added the pepperoncini. The disgusted customer then removed the pepperoncini from the sandwich, dropped them on the floor, and departed with a friend. The lippy clerk, irate at the mess, allegedly followed the custom

This can't be! The first post is actually on topic!
someone modded this jackass 'interesting'? wtf?
Oh, here we fucking go again. M$ WINDOZE BLOZE!!!1 LINUX ROXS!
Did you ever consider that your aparent in-ability to configure and use the windows platform might be a result of your own ineptitude? I rarely have any problems with windows printing, and when I do, its the fault of shitty, out of date 3r party drivers and nothing to do with windows itself. perhaps if you stopped trying to break it just to prove to yourself how 'crap' it is and started using it as a tool then you wouldn't have these fucking problems.
HAHAHA! 'WINBLOWS'
By taking the name of the popular operating system 'windows' and replacing the last bit with 'blows' (which is a colloquialism meaning 'bad' or 'inferior') you've just given the name a whole new meaning, while not really changing the sound of the word too much! this is the epitome of both with and humour!
other highly ammusing (and often underused) slag terms are 'windoze' (doze meaning 'light sleep' or 'knap') and 'M$' (which usually stands for MicroSoft, but in this case, the 'S' is deliciously replaced with a dollar sign to represnt how they unfairly charge for their products!)
This is new wave of humour, people. I think we should riddle all our posts, replies and (where applicable) everyday speech with these little beauties to forever represent that we, the open source community, know better than everyone else!
Wish I had mod points for this....
