Could you build this?
Partial Wrapping CUPS and SANE in a web UI or script is doable with vibe coding, but handling printer drivers, mDNS/Avahi discovery, and protocol edge cases across iOS/Android often requires system admin and networking expertise.
What it would actually take: Stack typically combines Linux, CUPS, SANE, and Avahi daemon for AirPrint/IPP-USB announcements, surfaced through a lightweight Python/FastAPI or Node.js web interface and PWA for mobile. The challenging components include reliable multi-architecture PPD/driver distribution, PDF rasterization pipeline performance on embedded devices (e.g. Raspberry Pi), and cross-subnet mDNS discovery.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a workflow automation tool for Real estate yet.
