Could you build this?
No Creating native macOS CUPS printer drivers and ports (like Gutenprint arm64) involves deep low-level systems programming, raster image processors, printer protocol reversing, and kernel/hardware-level debugging.
What it would actually take: Building native printer drivers requires deep C/C++ systems engineering, porting rasterizers and print filters to arm64 macOS, and interfacing with CUPS (Common Unix Printing System). It demands deep knowledge of proprietary printer protocols (ESC/P, PCL, proprietary Canon/Brother raster formats) and macOS driver packaging/notarization requirements, backed by hardware testing across hundreds of physical printer architectures.
