Wait this is how it's supposed to be on Macs.
Used to be, back when Macs were much more of a niche and Apple felt they could get by with supporting only a limited range of 3rd party hardware. A lot of the "everything just works on a Mac" meme came from the Mac tech universe being much less diverse and Mac users typically only working with other Mac users.

Most home printers have fairly shit drivers for Windows, but they're probably better tested than the shit ones the manufacturer wrote for Mac.
Macs might do better with a proper PostScript printer, since that's what Unixen traditionally support. Unfortunately I don't know that any consumer printers for in that category.

Wait this is how it's supposed to be on Macs, on a PC you are supposed to install drivers, reboot 3 times and eventually reinstall Windows.
