Isn't cups a de facto apple project? What's the VM getting you?

The gutenprint drivers to support the specific printer don't support darwin

  • Gutenprint supports macos as a first class citizen, including this particular printer AFAICT.

    • From the Gutenprint home page, https://gimp-print.sourceforge.io/:

      As of July 7, 2024 the Gutenprint project has formally deprecated MacOS support. This means that no further MacOS-compatible binaries will be produced.

      Gutenprint has not had an active MacOS maintainer for over three years, and the remaining developers lack the technical ability to produce MacOS binaries, much less undertake the substantial amount of work necessary to produce, test, and support binaries on newer (post-Mojave/10.14) MacOS releases.
