PRINTERS.... When I was one of the net admins of my kids school in VA, we
were running LTSP on Ubuntu and had a loony teacher go out and get some
windows printers that we couldn't attach due to lack of drivers...became a
political thing and she lost...but she wasn't very quiet...

Do you have any specific examples of which drivers for which device? I
haven't had the same experience of it being a big issue as you have,
though we may just be using different devices.
Broadcom wireless chips for one. Dell uses broadcom wireless chips for
their in house label ... and the only way to get those to work is to use
ndiswrapper.
Many video cards cause problems also. ATI & NVidia both require you to jump
through hoops to get their proprietary drivers to work. Ubuntu has
addressed this pretty well, but Fedora certainly hasn't.
