A new, modern, and secure print experience from Windows
If your printer for example supports IPP and Postscript or PDF then that would be possible. Higher end (commercial) HP printers usually offer this functionality. Take a look at CUPS [1] if you want to know more about IPP.

Trying to set up an old Zebra LP2844 as a network printer
Your best bet is to set up a print server. The support page even has a CUPS driver. CUPS is well known for supporting a lot of printers. I run it on an old Mac-mini running Ubuntu. You can run it on something as small as a Raspberry Pi.

PostScript’s Sudden Death in Sonoma
Apple should be more open about their removals. It isn't clear how this affects their CUPS implementation or PostScript printers https://www.cups.org

Microsoft to kill off third-party printer drivers in Windows
CUPS is under the Apache License 2.0 , so they can just use it, if they wanted: https://github.com/apple/cups/blob/master/LICENSE
They won't of course.

Is this easily solvable? I am going crazy
Another alternative is for you to set up a print server in VLAN20. Then set up the print server to print to the printer in VLAN99. CUPS is pretty easy to set up.

Sharing a Printer in a WiFi Network
But after both Apple and Linux switched their CUPS-based printing systems to Python 3 or some other breaking change that I don't mind to understand, the only way to print a document seemed to be using a PC running Microsoft Windows. So I had to save a PDF in the cloud or email it to myself, then startup Windows on a laptop physically connected to the printer, start the printing process, check if the paper has been printed successfully, and shut down Windows. What a waste of time and energy!

House upgrade: Need to keep an old USB-only printer connected wirelessly, would this work? (Old Router connected to new router)
Another option is to set up a print server. There are free print server programs that you can run on a computer. CUPS is pretty popular. I used to run it on a Raspberry Pi for an ancient LaserJet 1012. That printer just keeps going.

Serial connection to TI Silent 707
More useful is that it confirms that the 707 complies with the Bell v.21 standard. This is only 300 baud. However that makes a phone line very easy to emulate within the popular, open source PBX software Asterisk.

Hi! I’m working on a PBX in Asterisk and I need to get the CDR with an specific group of columns, like call ID, source, destination, date of the call and time of the call. The problem is that I can’t separate the variable “start”, that contains date and time, in two variables. Can someone help me?

EDIT: Given that the example asterisk unit file uses a "notify" type service, which is just an exec with bells and whistles, I'm leaning towards:

ARI: Trying to play a sound file from URI
In this case, that registered provider is res_http_media_cache which handles http and https. Since there's no provider today that handles file, those error out.
What are some alternatives?
