They work better in Linux than Windows, not to mention backwards compatibility.

EDIT: I may be wrong about newest printer models, 2020 and above.

EDIT2: Hardware problems are an entirely different issue.

Enterprise grade MFD printers often have a lot of features that don't get detected/mapped automatically, such as finishing options like staples and folding, as well as color management. I'm not a printer expert, I try to avoid them when possible, but I know that mass deploying those specific configurations in a safe and sane way seems basically impossible.

On the Fedora-based Linux machines, however, all of that seems to just pop in automatically, so I don't think it's a CUPS problem.

If you need one, staple by hand. If you need 30, make 29 copies with staple, and while they're printing, staple the one by hand.

Or at least that's what I would have said in my IT days lol.
