I'll second that Printing in Windows is much more seamless than Linux/UNIX. You create a printer and it's there. However what I think you miss out on in Windows is all the great utilities and diverse language support that is native to Linux. Your options to get things done in a native, less "hacked together", way on Linux is far stronger than on Windows.
Like Brian said though, UV is great at ironing out the differences so really it boils down to how you are going to extend UV. If your going to use Microsoft solutions then the go Windows. If your going to use FOSS solutions to extend, then use Linux.
