Printing on Linux used to be a massive pain because CUPS, until I learned that I can just yeet PDFs at network printers with nc.
I can’t fathom Windows printing being worse than CUPS somehow. But then again I’m pretty sure last time I printed anything on Windows it was via a parallel port.
I have always had decent success with CUPS and old printers, so like printers that are 15+ years old. It just works. Now with newer printers you’d have to be a sucker for punishment to go that route.

Well, I’m glad for the reversal because I am not technical at all.
