Printer drivers! :D

I have a GDI laser printer that comes with Mac drivers. I really want them to work on Linux.




Since macOS is using CUPS under the hood for printing this should not really be a problem.


The drivers comes with a command-line program that processes the input postscript(?) data into a proprietary image format the printer understands. This program is a native Mach-O executable that cannot run under Linux (without Darling or whatever). (It’s called “RicohAficioSPC231SFFilter”.)
