Darling: Run macOS Software on Linux
Last I tried Darling, my goal was to make a proprietary printer driver run on Linux. It was available for Windows and macOS (CUPS). So that’s one use case.

No, unfortunately I could not get Darling to compile back then and gave up. (I don't have that printer anymore either.)

Depending on your printer
You may be able to print directly to port 9100 of the printer using netcat

Why this over Wine with the Windows executable?

The Windows driver wouldn't work with CUPS. Or is there something like ndiswrapper for printer drivers?

Similarly I was hoping to run the Bonjour Conformance Test on Linux in CI for Avahi. Which is CLI as well.
