It does, in my experience. At least in Linux Mint.

At home, my old Brother laser is tucked off in a far corner of the house connected to wifi, and my wired home PC as well as my wifi work laptop both see it and can print to it just fine.

At work even those big printers show up and function.

Kubuntu LTS works pretty damn near out-of-the-box as well.

Mint is based on ubuntu so that makes sense to me!
