Because it's ARM? There are very few arm "filter drivers", you have to use Apples method
driverless OR airprint/ipp everywhere (both methods almost the same)
1) a not too old printer, it has to have capability
2) on network,, over usb can be done, with difficulty
3) reasonably recent CUPS
Do not pick printer model, pick driverless (driver is in printer rom, ppd is a bit feeble)
Some distros do this automatically, eg ubuntu
