According to https://openprinting.github.io/printers/ , both those printers allegedly support driverless printing through the Apple AirPrint standard, which is supported by current CUPS. This SHOULD include AirPrint over USB, if the standard is correctly and completely implemented. It may be worth trying, though it may expose fewer options than using the proprietary CUPS driver RPM. I do not know whether these printers would also work with some Free as in Speech CUPS driver such as generic PostScript, PCL, or ESC/P, or such as the Gutenprint drivers for older Brother printer models, nor, if they would at all, whether that would lead to more flexibility than just using AirPrint.
