GDI printer drivers

I'm planning to buy a B/W laser printer. They tend to be Windows-only GDI printers. What about the driver situation for:
* Kyocera FS-1061DN                  NOPE
* Ricoh SP-150w                          ?
* HP LaserJet Pro M102w            hplip
* Canon i-Sensys LBP6030w       cndrvcups-lb (32-bit only?)
* Samsung Xpress M2026W        samsung-unified-driver
* Brother HL-1210W                     brother-hl1210w

For some of them I couldn't find information. May you please help me to complete the list?

Re: GDI printer drivers

If the cndrvcups-lb driver was in official repos, it would be in [multilib] repo.

Canon re-uses 32-bit code as much as possible.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

Re: GDI printer drivers

As for the Brother one, they do provide drivers in rpm et deb format. There's a package in the AUR to use them.
