Very impressive and enjoyable good experience. This was done with Opus 4.8! In theory Qwen 3.8-27B could do it too.

...I would have asked Fable.

I do not want to call anyone names but the level of pedantry and gatekeeping in this comment and the replies is outstanding. I can hear Chuck McGill screaming "You're not a real driver!".

requiring a full blown VM (with a different OS) to implement a driver (normally that would work in ring-0 along with the original OS) is not pedantry.

for instance the 'windows' part is also entirely nonsensical as the printer works on a default mint installation w/o any issues. The "obscure" part is weird as you can just buy the printer online as well.

> A device driver is software that operates or controls a particular type of device that is attached to a computer.[1] A driver provides a software interface to hardware devices, enabling other software to access hardware functions without needing to know precise details about the hardware.

Is using a VM running another operating system as part of a driver weird, yes. Is it still a driver? Also yes.

Since when is pointing out technical errors a sin on HN?

Since the influx of people who know basically nothing about anything made that part the majority and it became mostly business hype and pretense.

I guess I will break the general hypocrisy and be the one to say this can be replicated with AI. Fable almost one-shotted it.

The devil is in the details. I ended up tinkering quite a bit because Samsung's software decides for you wether to use the real 3x camera or do a digital zoom (which defeats the purpose). Long story short I got a prototype working, but only when shooting outdoor with good day light. No I will not share it or publish it. The result was terrible for a close up portrait. It works beautifully for outdoor shots of plants/trees.

Here is the catch : when you share your detailed shot by WhatsApp (for example), it gets compressed and you lose those precious details.

A very cool project nonetheless.

Obtaining a big enough preview and removing the watermark is 2 minutes in the inspector. We are not the target audience.
