Easiest thing to do: set up CUPSd on one of your machines. sudo apt install cups Then read https://wiki.debian.org/SystemPrinting and use either the web interface on port 631 or system-config-printer in a GUI to set up your printer. If it's recent, it can probably use the ipp driver; if it is middle-aged, it can probably be used via the port 9100 lp system. -dsr-
