Has Apple abandoned CUPS, the Linux's world's widely used open-source printing system? Seems so

Re: will drop PPD file support soon

HP pulled their support (PCL5 driver) for older Laserjets in Win10 recently

The whole point of getting a printer that supports a common/standard language like PS, PDF or PCL is that you don't have to give a damn what the manufacturer does. Any old PCL driver, such as those included in Windows base system, or 3rd party drivers (e.g. ghostscript) should work with the printer.
