It isn't worth it. Besides, he'll do his best to drop you down to their level, then beat you with experience. It isn't worth it.

Prior to that I was > using bsdlpr and a much simpler printer. We gave up on trying to get scanners and printers and, especially, all-in-ones, to work with linux years ago. It was simply much easier to use a Windows PC, and especially, applications written for Windows. The best affordable graphics and word-processing software is exclusively windows. Of course, there is high end graphics and animations stuff written for unix/linux that relies more heavily on multi-user/multi-tasking environments but that stuff is not relevant to this discussion. If you are a hobbyist, then by all means, fiddle about with linux. That's what linux, and especially slackware, is meant for. But if you're a pro, the computer is a tool, and you just want to get stuff done either buy a Mac or install windows.
