I had a similar experience writing image decompressors. There wasn't enough to internally manage for rust to provide any benefit, and the gritty fast algorithmic code is just simpler to do with C++. C wasn't going to…
I've got a bunch of thermal printers in my work lab that definitely don't have this but they all support ESC/POS. They're all currently produced kiosk style printers.
Some of these show up as USB to serial converters and while you do need appropriate kernel drivers for that, they'll never be recognized as a "printer". Still usable though.
This could be plain software on any computer with network and a serial port. Not sure if the product is tied to RP hardware but it certainly wouldn't have to be. I work with thermal printers controlled by significantly…
I find this kind of thing most useful for microcontrollers and real-time embedded systems that don't require full networking. I've used many of these concepts but maybe not all at once on what many would call "bare…
