Me and my family are still using a (let's call it) vintage HP LaserJet 1100 connected to an HP JetDirect connected to a wifi router. Hey, it works, why throw away a perfectly good printer just because it's old?

The other day I tried to print from a Windows 10 machine. After much searching of drivers on the internet and pulling of hairs, I gave up and copied the file to my Linux box and printed from there.

The point I'm making is that your hardware will have a longer support life with Linux.
