It probably depends on the printer. I helped dad install Mint on a used laptop he bought, and the only help he needed with the printer was figuring out which config application to open to add it.

I use system-config-printer to set up both our Canon and Epson printers any time I install a fresh Linux here; it works flawlessly.
