I have a similar issue. I am considering running a VM just to be able to print and scan.

    Linux: where you run a VM because niche proprietary software won’t run on Linux.

    Windows: where you run a VM because a multibillion dollar company can’t figure out generic printer drivers as well as underpaid (or volunteer) open-source developers.
