Being new to Ubuntu, I haven't installed it yet. Just got my free OS cd direct from Ubuntu. If it is as most say it is, the only thing left to make sure it will run our already installed printers, faxes, scanners etc. I know that they will have to be reinstalled etc. But, how do we get the drivers? Does anyone know if Ubuntu has drivers for most hardware? Epson, HP, etc?
Any info will be greatly appreciated

This is where the rubber meets the road.
My experience After several tries of different Distro's I find that the distro will attempt to match your hardware with the correct drivers. In my case my greatest success is with SimplyMepis. I am in no way advocating Mepis. It just worked for me. If there is a way to check the Distro's compatibility with your hardware, by all means try it. It will save you time.
