They'll run CUPS too! My B modernized some old, commercial Brother laser printers I was running.

That's a great idea - if I understood you right, you mean you used it to make a printer "wireless / wifi enabled" with it, right? Is there any guide you can recommend for that?

I've done the same thing - making a USB-only printer available on my LAN - following this guide: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-print-server/

One nice thing is I can print to the CUPS server even if the printer is off

I did the same with an rpi3, not sure if I used this guide but it seems good:
