Makes me wonder how easy it would be to create a bootable Linux disto with nothing but printer drivers so to speak.
It depends on the printer: in my experience, a new printer is terrible to install offline, while many old laserjets work out of the box.I don't really mind having network drivers, just unplug the cable and disable wifi. If that's not enough: remove the physical card.
And then I realized one day there's an easier solution to this:
As you can see, I always unplug the cables before printing.
