Printers?
#10
For arm, most of the time (nearly always) you will have to follow apples' lead (ipad, iphone)
and use airprint or driverless, debian wiki has pages on this
So...
the printer must be airprint capable (ie 10 years or newer, and airprint turned on)
cups 2.2.4 (when airprint was added)(stretch only has 2.2.1)
networked,, (usb is possible, harder)
when cups asks for authorization root is by far the best, tell it to remember
The ppd is a bit feeble, but it all works (ppd and drivers (I think) stored in printer firmware)
Or you may have expensive, genuine postscript printer, print job will be converted to ps
which the printer will happily eat, no driver needed
Some of the brother lasers have been reverse engineered, compiling can be a bit painful
--edit-- for airprint, when picking ppd chose generic
