Last I tried Darling, my goal was to make a proprietary printer driver run on Linux. It was available for Windows and macOS (CUPS). So that’s one use case.

- notRobot 3y agoDid it work?
- fuzzy2 3y agoNo, unfortunately I could not get Darling to compile back then and gave up. (I don't have that printer anymore either.)
- hiatus 3y agoWhy this over Wine with the Windows executable?
- fuzzy2 3y agoThe Windows driver wouldn't work with CUPS. Or is there something like ndiswrapper for printer drivers?
- j45 3y agoDepending on your printer You may be able to print directly to port 9100 of the printer using netcat
- lathiat 3y agoSimilarly I was hoping to run the Bonjour Conformance Test on Linux in CI for Avahi. Which is CLI as well.
