    The problem for me is scanners. I need a printer with a scanner, but scanning seems to require installing proprietary drivers :(

    So I realized I probably need a printer that doesn’t require a computer to use. It’s ridiculous that it came to this, but there are printers that can print from USB and scan to a USB device. They seem to be rare though.

      wia-compatible drivers (which should be included in the linux kernel and auto-installed by windows) don’t require full software suites.
