Network printing can give more options. For Linux machines, get on the member network or hardwired network, and use the print settings wizard. The standard Gnome print settings wizard can detect the printer, select the right driver, and configure CUPS correctly. If you want somewhat more advanced print options like double-sided printing, configure that in these print settings.
