Ben, he said "their printer is also WiFi connected", so I think we can
infer it's on the network.

But the brand/model is useful information, since it is conceivable
their printer doesn't work with Linux.

I recently inherited an all-in-one Brother something, and printing
works fine (as long as there is ink detected in every cartridge), but
the scanner portion does not work with Linux.
