I happen to be a Linux user in an all-windows office. Our office is taking part in a pre-release program for a major printer company (I won't say which one), and the printer has NO Linux drivers.
And yet, I'm able to print just fine with it using CUPS and pre-existing drivers for other printers.
You can't print to your printer using Linux? Sounds like a personal problem to me.

Can you do the fancy stuff like toggle duplex printing (printing on both sides of the sheet) and change the print quality? I find I can do basic printing from Linux to most printers, but can't normally change many of the printers' print settings.
Yes. I can change paper tray preferences, not only toggle duplex but deside which edge it flips on, and more. I can choose print quality settings, orientation, paper type, etc..
