I love these hacks! Did you know you can find the source code of this "driver" (foo2hbpl1) on the internet archive? http://web.archive.org/web/20151008025637/http://www.cyberco...

Not sure where you saw foo2hbpl1 referenced, they are using this driver: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xerox-phaser-6000-6010/

Which definitely contains 32-bit x86 code.

Wait. Their "legacy driver I need qemu to run" is foo2zjs? The gpl thing that I remember being in a bunch of Linux distro package repos? The one that I have run on arm just fine?

Still in debian. https://packages.debian.org/buster/printer-driver-foo2zjs

Yup.

I didn't understand it too.
