This is one of the I like about Linux, as well. One of the pain points in the past, however, was printing, but since 2010 every printer I've owned supported IPP Everywhere[1] driverless printing that works flawlessly on Linux. Even the Brother and HP printers that had their own Linux drivers did, too. AirPrint also works on Linux.
