If you're a developer, you're surely familiar with Prettier and ESLint. With over 8 years of existence, they have established themselves as references in the JavaScript ecosystem.
Project mention: Remote Controlling an HP 1670G Logic Analyzer with a Linux PC X Server | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-27I don't know anything about Xwayland, but according there's this sentence in this socat writeup:
> If you want to access an X server that does not provide -listen tcp (Xwayland) or just did not have enabled it during startup (like most likely your host Xorg), you can use socat to provide TCP/IP access.

Project mention: A new, modern, and secure print experience from Windows | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-17If 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.
I use a different Brother, but had a similar problem, larger documents wouldn't print or would cutoff. The official br-laser project has not made a release in over 4 years. Meanwhile, there is at least one unreleased patch in the master branch that fixes problems like these. I ended up switching to a fork that is being updated, including the fix(es).

It did take Time to stabilize the design, anything before the ql700 is clunky. But the ones I tried after have been Great
git clone https://github.com/dimalo/klipper-web-control-docker.git klipper cd klipper docker compose up
This one worked for my HP scanner https://github.com/manuc66/node-hp-scan-to
Maybe it's not something standard and every company has their own implementation :shrug:
