I would suggest either setting up a virtual computer with a recent Linux

basic compu[t]er needs.

I don't know if this will help anyone, but if anyone is running Windows
10 x64, there is a new feature addition to Windows 10 called "Windows
Subsystem for Linux" ("WSL") that you can enable, & then install (free)
Linux distributions from the Microsoft Store:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10
The install is absolutely trivial. Ubuntu 16.04 & 18.04 distributions
are available, but I've installed Debian, & run some fairly complex bash
scripts without a problem.
That having been said, WSL is supported & primarily intended for running
command-line programs, although some have been able to run a Linux GUI
on it:

All that having been said, I have no idea if WSL supports printing. I
doubt it, but I thought I'd throw this out as a possible alternative to
running a VM. WSL is much more "lightweight" than a VM, but takes a LOT
less resources.
