    This is common in the IT world. Printers are such painful devices and installing drivers on every Windows desktop just adds to the pain, but by doing this you don’t need to install drivers, as Linux can serve something that doesn’t need drivers to print to.

    It’s very well-known, but used more by companies than consumers.

  For any printer. You never know what it’s doing without a firewall solution. USB is always the safest option.
