I wonder if any printers run Linux... ๐Ÿค”

Also just because it's related and may not be common knowledge: https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/lpr.1.html

I bet they do.

I've learned that the best way to get printers to work universally is to buy a printer with ipp support & force a static IP / DHCP reservation. Seems to universally work with every OS I use in my home with no bloaty drivers.
