So I just printed a PDF from my phone from #Termux cause Android couldn't do it or something;
I just ran pdftops -level3 foo.pdf to convert,
then nc 10.0.0.66 9100 < foo.ps and it just printed.
Like that's all it took :neocat_aww:
I spent at least 15 minutes troubleshooting Android, but two simple CLI commands were all it took.
Thanks so much @termux this would have been a nightmare otherwise

I just think it's amazing you can print from your phone without any of this proprietary garbage. This incident really demystified printing a bit for me.
