Weird printer on windows 11, that’s not a thing. A weird printer in your CUPS server in Linux, totally a thing

I have never connected a printer to my network or via USB, clicked the add printer button, and was able to print on my first try.

Then I tried to add a printer on Fedora Linux.

Cant say never anymore.

Also Brother printers have their shit together for Linux drivers.

To Brother's credit, this is also true for their windows drivers. As an IT admin, anytime I need a new printer they're my preferred brand.
