This printer (along with nearly every model sold in the last five years 
or so) supports AirPrint, Mopria, and other "driverless" technologies that
allow it to be used without any special client-side drivers.

Of course, that doesn't help if the printer itself phones home about 
what you get up to.  You could try firewalling it off from the internet, or
other such approaches.
