Making an old USB printer support Apple AirPrint using a Raspberry Pi
This reminds me of something I did a few years ago. I had an old printer for which the drivers did not work properly on Windows. Connected the printer to a Zero W and it became accessible to every device on my network through CUPS. I even made it print PDF attachments from emails [1].
