CUPS is on Linux as well (of course), with a big thanks to Apple for helping popularize it with the printer makers.

The best printing software on Linux is the HP stuff. All of their machines are incredibly well supported, with N-up and all of the other bells and whistles. Some things on the multi-function boxes are even better than what the bloated windrivers do on them.
