I don’t know what printer you have, but I’ve had the exact opposite experience. I don’t remember how I eventually got it working, but printing on windows was a lot more effort than transferring the files to mac or linux, which just worked out of the box.
It’s been like that for some other miscellaneous devices like a playstation 3 controller and this old usb floppy drive I once needed.
