Show HN: AirPrint Bridge: Enable AirPrint for Non-AirPrint Printers on macOS

I shoved a disused Raspberry Pi running cups behind my Laserjet MFP connected over USB. Works great. As a plus, I could install SANE and get network scanning from it, including from the ADF. scanservjs is a nice frontend for that.

I cheated adding power to it by just using a power cable splitter so I could shove a reliable USB power brick up next to the printer.

THANK YOU. I've been looking for something like scanservjs for ages as a web frontend to my network scanner to feed Paperless. For whatever reason I never could find something when I would search. That looks like exactly what I wanted, penciling it in for a weekend project.
