I did not even notice putting in a driver for my brother but I use it by usb. Is this more a wireless thing?

No, the generic usb driver wouldn't work for me. I only was able to get it to print a test page weirdly.

I had a way different experience and its kinda funny as I use an lts distro that is even out of date for that. I have things that would not print properly in windows and it was easier to do it with linux.

Once I got it up and running, it has been like you described, way better than windows.
