On the flipside I have an older but functional scanner[1] that doesn't have a driver for modern Windows (Latest version is for Windows 7 32-bit) or Mac (Latest version 10.6), but still works perfectly fine in Linux.

My Brother laser printer doesn't have a driver that works on MacOS anymore, it's old enough that it tries to install some 32bit software which is rejected.

Similar situation for Windows as yourself, only unsigned XP drivers.

Linux works without installing anything.
