    On the plus side, for example, there are thousands of printers and scanners where the manufacturer never released a 64bit windows driver even if some of them were sold during the vista 64 bit era or even windows 7.

    In that case Linux it’s the only way to make them work on a modern computer (unless supported by paid third party drivers like vuescan or printfab)

        It’s very unlikely that those printers can support the new “universal print” standard (mopria, 2013)

        At most can put them as generic printer text only which is worse
