Recently I went through a lot of problems installing HP ink jet printer (not the newest one) on Linux. Succeeded in the end. I had a lot of problems with winmodem, too, but succeeded in the end.
It is less likely to happen in Windows world, because hardware vendor is *always* guilty if it does not work under Windows. There is no excuse, and, even if problem is in Windows, vendor must find the way around, or they can forget about selling their device.
I'd like the same to be true for Linux. I don't expect it to happen anytime soon.
