       My reward for getting both our printers working on Casuarina today. No thanks to Xprinter (my label printer manufacturer) for distributing their driver as a rar file with a .deb inside. Which meant `rar` -> `deb` -> data.tar.xz -> finally PPDs and filter binaries. That was fun to package.#CasuarinaLinux
