Printer support on Linux is honestly better than Windows.
I have one of their all-in-one colour toner machines for my GF's business, it's awesome. Scanning to an SFTP share means she can just feet a stack of paper into it and get a PDF in her Documents/Scans directory.
AND fun fact, there are no lasers in "laser printers" they all use 1D LED arrays to transfer the image data to the drum. Only the early toner based printers used a real laser and they were operating almost like a CRT, scanning a raster onto the drum.
