No, the parent comment is correct. "It was bad because it was a new operating system." -- it was already bad in the pre-OSX Mac era (mostly due to low marketshare). "And it wasn't just printers but everything. Drivers, applications, utilities. They all took years to move to OSX." -- for applications and most other things Apple had migration alternatives (Carbon APIs for pre-OSX Mac apps, the Classic environment for emulation of pre-OSX and even Rosetta for emulating PowerPC on Intel). For the case of printers, they really just dropped whatever they had and went with the Linux solution.
