I have an old Brother laser printer that’s been doing fine and doesn’t need to be replaced, but it only supports USB. Is there a device besides an old computer/laptop that would make it a shared wireless printer that supports windows machines well? I’m pretty sure i could come up with something myself, but i would prefer an off-the-shelf solution that handles updates and bugs without needing any attention from me.
Edit: Raspberry Pi 5 ordered!
Wouldn’t I need to get a unique ARM driver for the usb printer to work?
Cups when u add a printer figures that all out and gets the appropriate driver and things u need to print.
It didn’t and I ended up with a generic driver that’s lacking a lot of function. Not the worst, and it mostly does what I need.
CUPS eats printers and shits out function, it’s all open source so underlying isa doesn’t matter much.
