    It’s driver issues. Printers are such a hellscape of proprietary shit that even Bill Gates is afraid of them

      Which is weird cause at the backend, printing is basically the same as converting to PDF and sending that file to the printer.
      If a printer can’t run with a generic driver that was developed in the 80s, it’s cause the manufacturer explicitly removed that functionality.
