My printer/scanner is a Samsung SCX-4623FW which came out in 2010 and it's still working fine. The printer automatically installs, but I do have to make one configuration change for the scanner (the scanner component was made by Xerox).
At any rate, Linux Mint seems good for old devices as well. And it definitely runs faster and quieter than Windows on this machine.

I am typing this on a Optiplex 9020 (i7 not W11 ready) and it is my main Calibre Library.
My intake is on a Optiplex 780 (someting is off, as it is as DMA is not functioning), But it will boot Mint.
I also have a really ancient (c 2003) L675. The newest is a Brother Color MFC
Mint is more like W7 I frequently use (from live CD) GPARTED to move around drive partitions
