I'm pretty sure this is just the USB solution for printers that otherwise support driverless printing, but I was tired of my HL-L3210CW running out of memory printing large pictures (I assume it was attempting to scale the images on the printer), so I set up an rpi print server for it. After fiddling with other solutions I stumbled over this and it might be nice to direct other fools like me to this option.
