I just want to add a parting shot to this thread.

I have several scanners and laser printers, all USB, that have not
been supported under Microsoft Windows for some time.  No MS drivers are
available for these devices.  On various MS Windows forums many people
ask in vain about obtaining such drivers.

But under Linux all my scanners and printers continue to work without problem,
and most likely will continue to work for many years to come.

This just underscores the difference between proprietary and open source
software.
