I've had some bad luck with that. Finding a driver that works with a Canon printer I bought has been a real pain in the arse. On the rare occasion when I need to print or scan, I just boot up windows.

Yeah, drivers have been an issue but it is getting better every day.
Linux isn't QUITE there yet...but it is close. Most of my PC use is internet and gaming. Gaming is still a ways away. Improving, but not ideal. I do have a 2nd build and a laptop I run Linux on though (Ubuntu and Mageia).
