And I can’t even tell if it’s because printers have gotten worse or millennials are just the IT department forever.

It’s 100 % because you no longer need to understand how information technology works in order to use it.

So our parents didn’t know because the tech didn’t exist (or came late in their life), and our kids because they never needed to learn.

It's partially that. It's also because printers do suck more now. Had an HP 5p in the 90s that was a workhorse, reliable as hell, and would simply print whatever you sent. period.

I tried older HP PSC 1315 on Windows 11.
Windows 11: Cannot find drivers, use manufacturer's website.
HP: Windows will automatically download drivers, no downloads are provided.

Uuuh... thanks?
