   I very seldom print anything, like maybe once every couple of years. I was   
   pleasantly surprised when I turned on the old Samsung 310CLP and plugged   
   in the USB cable LibreOffice recognized it and printed the form.   
      
   Sort of. I mean it printed the form, plus sort of an overlay of previous   
   parts of the form. The printer needs some serious maintenance.   
      
   15 or 20 years ago I hated trying to print anything on Linux. It's come a   
   long way.
