I have seen that Linux (Mint or Ubuntu) has better printer/scanner compatibility than Windows 7 if you dont have driver CDs.

Try it - I think you will be surprised.




Actually, the last few (brand new and "legacy") printer/scanners I've hooked up have never asked for a driver disc on Windows 7. The driver situation on Windows is far, far better than it used to be.

EDIT: presuming you have an active Internet connection. Which is a fairly safe assumption these days, but by no means guaranteed.
