printing even works on linux now, thanks to stuff like Airprint and the support for it in CUPS
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that these same printers support ipp.
Oddly i would have expected both products to use CUPS for their printing...
why own a printer if you can't even connect to it to print?
Most corporate printers are network attached, many also run under CUPS
CUPS these days pretty much "just works" so there goes your other reason...
Windows drivers manage printing on their own now. Don't need a vendor-specific driver any more. Enjoy.
All modern printers support IPP, aka AirPrint, which does not require drivers.
you forgot CUPS, the thing that lets most *nix platforms print.
Being able to print doesn't mean you have drivers for your printer - both the phone and printer support a semi-standardized protocol (probably bastardized postscript).
