There is a quasi-standard for output being sent to a printer: PostScript. Any network printer worth its ink should be able to at least understand (and correctly print) this. Even my Laser printer at home (HP ColorJet 1525) can do PS and it worked out of the box with my Linux laptop and Linux desktop system at home.

I suggest to - instead of introducing a Windows server - buying office printers for professional use. You should have no problems then.

I hope this helps.
