Load up Ubuntu into a VM and test. Bet it will "just work."
I print about 50 pgs a year, most of those are tax forms.

The only real issue I have with the printer is that it needs to be turned on to
print. Have you checked that?  ;)

Another option is to print to PDF from any client, then use lp or lpr directly
to print the PDF. That **always** works here.  Mainly use that with airline
boarding passes when I'm in a hurry.
