Things gets a bit more niche as there are so many options out there and 
even within a brand things can work differently between models.

I once supplied an AUR with printer drivers for my printer, all the 
downloads are made by me (the AUR simplified the driver install on 
multiple computers), don't think there are many Linux users with bigger 
office grade printers.
