As a recent linux convert I found printer drivers and setups to be a pain and getting java runtime working was a process but everything else was about a days worth and it just works. Hell, even hitting the windows key on the keyboard and typing the ms name for stuff pops up the relevant linux program. If you didn't know you were looking at something different, it wouldn't be obvious for the most part.
Just curious, what brand of printer do you have?
Brother. Weirdly, the scanner setup was completely painless and even easier than in wondows.
I've got a brother printer as well and it was the only driver I had to hunt down and install. Everything else has worked out of the box (Mint).
