Good to hear!

BTW, the company which wrote CUPS was bought by Apple a couple of years
ago, so Mac & Linux now have a largely identical print system under the
covers.  So as a general rule, if you can't find a particular model
listed in the openprinting.org database, buy printers that are billed as
Mac-compatible.  I know HP's low end laser printers sometimes aren't.
