Herself decided to actually cook tomorrow, so ask for the recipe.
No problem ... "can you print that for me?"
Ah. Haven't put a printer on the Surface...
"Settings", "Printers and scanners", "Add a printer or scanner" ... searching ...
Oh look. It's there ... and it works. I didn't even have to select it and say what it was.
Very smooth - I remember "Plug and pray" and just how fowl it was most of the time, but that is mature and very, very nice. Impressive stuff.

I know it's going to be an adventure at dinner when my wife is perusing a recipe, and says, "That doesn't seem right..."
That often translates to changing the amount of one or more ingredients, and "bumping up the temperature".
In that case, I start thinking about what I'm going to have for my "backup dinner".

So has it connected with a WSD... port and some Microsoft created driver?
Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Centre -> Change advanced sharing settings, then turn off Private -> Turn on automatic setup of network connected devices.
That and Control Panel -> Power Options -> Choose what the power buttons do, then turn off Turn on fast startup (recommended), are the first things I get rid of in a new Windows 10 install.

I've disabled that ever since the wonderful "fast startup" killed the system drive on one of my laptops (and I do mean "killed" -- to the extent that all the partitions had to be removed).
There are hundreds of complaints about the wonderful "fast startup" killing system drives on the Interwebs, so people leave it on at their own risk, just to save five seconds at boot.

When I think of most printer drivers I have been around, it makes me cringe to think about one being installed automatically on a tablet. I hope that one behaves much better for you than they do for me.

I was kinda expecting "I found a Samsung C430W - insert the CD in the DVD drive" or a download of 700MB of bloatware from the manufacturers site and half a million "read the licence" windows.
But no: it quietly loaded just the print drivers it needed and was ready to rock and roll in seconds. That's how Plug and Play should have worked from day 1 ...
And Win10 gets plenty of stick (from me, included) so I thought that a positive message when it does well is deserved. I doubt that Linux is as smooth to add a printer ... (I just checked on Google, and no, it doesn't appear to be!)

That is a surprise. I am glad to read it worked out well for you.

One thing 10 does well is install printers it never otherwise knew was in the building.

It should give you the option to install the manufacturer's drivers; I'd trust them quite a bit more than ms drivers -- even if ms drivers have the newest and coolest icons.

Humble Bundle are giving away Dirt Rally: Get DiRT Rally for free[^]
No catch, just log in and grab it. I've had a few free games off them, and they all work with no commitment to buy others required or implied. I'm sure they would be happy if you did, but ... they don't mind if you don't.

If they know how to do that, why didn't they do it?
That thing I saw was for the most part from old movies, with characters which they did their best to erase. And yeah, was that MaRey Sue with a red swiss army light saber? Shocking. Throw in some CGI and that's the best they can do? Thanks a lot.

Hasn't everyone? I did. It even has its own debugger.

Do you have a link? I'd be very interested in having a look at it.

I did it three employers ago. They were bought out and then I worked for the buyer for a while. The bottom line is it's a "captive" software package now, for internal use only. It was very flexible and we could do a lot with it but it wound up being used almost exclusively for one type of automation system known as a wetbench. Here's a video of one in operation : MEI Wet Processing - Full Auto Wet Bench[^]. Here's the page about the software : MEI Wet Processing Systems - IDX Flexware Software[^]. There were over a thousand systems installed the last time I checked. Although I am certain a good number of those have been de-commissioned over the years because they have a somewhat limited lifespan. I think there is at least one in just about every major semiconductor manufacturer in the world. I practically lived in clean rooms for about twenty years and I am very glad to be out of that industry.
