Yeah I see this as more of a "Printers are an antiquated technology that hasn't changed much in the last 30+ years" problem.

Printers are fortunately "plug and play" on Linux.

Connect printer to the network. Hit the print button. Select printer from the dropdown. Boom. Done.

It's nothing to do with printers, this is a uniquely Windows problem (and maybe Mac, I have no idea).
