<![CDATA[My reward for getting both our printers working on Casuarina today.]]>My reward for getting both our printers working on Casuarina today. No thanks to Xprinter (my label printer manufacturer) for distributing their driver as a rar file with a .deb inside. Which meant `rar` -> `deb` -> data.tar.xz -> finally PPDs and filter binaries. That was fun to package.

Although I expect if I was motivated enough I could probably massage https://github.com/cbiffle/raster-tspl-rs into a replacement for them.

I suppose I should be thankful they support Linux at all.
