You can perfectly use your Prusa i3 without an LCD screen/controller. Or you can buy a replacement LCD for a few dollars, usually < $12.

MatterControl is another option as well as Repetier-Host. Yes, you can print just fine without the LCD. The LCD/Smart Card concept is so you don't have to leave your computer on for very long prints, like maybe something lasting up to 25 or 30+ hours.

Most people print without LCDs, as far as I know. Look up a Pronterface tutorial, if all goes well it's pretty simple.
