4. With a network printer, you want all your computers to have drivers. In our household, that's a lot of installation compared with "let the distro do the work". And it gets repeated with every update of the drivers and every version of the distro.
Download the driver once. Copy it to each computer, putting it in /home/someuser/Downloads. Then, presuming that you've put /home on its own partition and don't format it when you re-install, the drivers are ready to be installed. Of course, if you upgrade instead of doing a clean install for every new version, this issue goes away. Or, if none of the above appeals to you, keep doing whatever you've done in the past, but don't expect any sympathy from me when you complain about how much trouble it is. Your LAN, your computers, your choice.
