I'm also using this. I have Mac + iPhone + remarkable, and recently discovered some neat tricks so I can "print to remarkable" from phone or laptop, using native print/AirPrint dialogs. It's pretty cool to treat the remarkable like real paper that you can print to.
I use this AppleScript trick + rmapi [0] so I can use the native Mac print dialog to print to remarkable. Basically, anywhere I can print a PDF, I can print to remarkable the same way.
I installed Printopia [1] on my mac to host an AirPrint server on my local network, which can share the print extension I created to print to remarkable. So when I'm on my wifi, on my phone, I can use the native "Print" functionality to "print to remarkable" via AirPrint on my laptop.
The only thing missing is the ability to get this setup working when my phone is not on WiFi. I've installed ZeroTier on phone/mac, and connected them to the network so they can ping each other, but I'm having trouble getting mDNS to work properly. The laptop is sending the packets to the ZeroTier interface, but the phone is not receiving them for some reason. Not sure if it's expected, since iPhone Network Extension can only setup the equivalent of TUN interfaces, not TAP (which is needed for L2 AFAIU).

I played around with setting up my own CUPS + Avahi server, but getting it to work in docker was a pain, given the native OSX CUPS server was interfering and some other issues... Printopia just works.
