I ususally don't run into drivers problems but this is actually one reason I was looking to try ubuntu... because I hate having to deal with drivers.
For instance I am still on my old HP LJ III and unfortunately it seems to have died. But I do need support for both old H/W and new. I'll need to get a new printer I scratch my head wondering if it will work or if I'll be swearing.
