Apparently Linux can no longer print

Apparently Linux can no longer print

Sent a couple of PDFs to my 2 laser printers: HP and Brother. Neither printed correctly right away:

Brother flat out refused to print, displaying "Bad letter paper" error. The same file printed on the same printer from under Windows without issues the moment I sent the job.
HP displayed "Load cardstock paper" even though I never ever used cardstock in my life. Same story - printed fine from the Windows machine.

It used to be the other way around about 10-15 years ago. Linux truly has become a sad caricature of itself.
