+1 It's impossible for a beginner to install. I used Linux some years ago and hardware like printers and scanners needed a weekend's work to get anything like what you got with an hour or so with windows and the cd they gave you. HP still give you a cd but it has no linux content. There seems to have been little progress with installation and even though I'm reasonably literate, I can't get anywhere near the quality I see from my 'phone using a simple download-and-print-app. The app takes about a minute to install, it detects the printer and that's it. I can only conclude that everyone here is a Linux expert! It has been said that Linux makes you pay with time and work instead of money. Just once, though.
However, I don't understand your difficulties with YaST and cups. Of course you don't and I don't expect anyone here to either. You are an expert, probably of many years standing! I am amazed and gratified by

I find them very easier, much easier than the Windows procedures. And HP printers just work — maybe there are exceptions. FWIW, with windows, you switch on the printer and windows comes back with new hardware and then there's a button to either OK or cancel. On motorola you download the app and start it. No Yast or cups or localhost.
I'm not trying to knock Linux in anyway. For some stuff like file servers I'm sure it's the best.
Maybe it is because I have seen really complicated things in the past.
