Yep. It became a real shit storm when they changed the driver system somewhere around Vista/7 and people found they could no longer use their old(-ish) printer with their new computer. Then again, that same backwards compatibility has been a major contributor to all the security issues over the years.

Wasn't that because of the switch to 64bit? A lot of older printers didn't have 64 bit drivers.
