What about when they buy a new printer and need drivers.

Printers have "just worked" on Linux for longer than Windows has provided drivers through Windows Update. What printer do you have that requires special drivers in Linux?

Canon Pro 9000 mkii. It works but in a basic mode. There is no way to select a color profile or borderless printing. There is no way to clean the nozzles. Our Brother Laser Printer on TrueNas was a huge pain to find drivers for it to get air print to work correctly. I think I spent an entire work day messing with CUPS until I got things working properly.
