How old is it? Almost all relatively recent printers should support driverless network printing by now.
Maybe 5 years old, haven't tested in a while but it's USB only with no network connectivity
It's actually the same protocol over network or USB, as long as the printer is new enough that is.
Check for your model here, if it's listed then you shouldn't need any drivers and it should "just work".
Unfortunately not :(
