Information from other experiences like this, we can use the wiki as a
start.

Most of the time this issue presents itself when doing a migration to a
free software OS.

So people, already have the printer and they look for an alternative to
be able to print, in some cases they have an alternative free driver for
that printer other times they don't.

So if we document the ones that has an alternative instead of installing
a non-free driver or worst, not being able to print, i think it could be
really useful to other users.
