I did a similar project for another make of printer, but used DS Flash and GPT-5.6-Sol, so it was effectively free ($2-$3 of Flash and maybe 5% of a monthly Max sub, so $10?) | ||

> if i ever get some tokens to burn The real trick is to have the AI do something that makes its own money, then tokens are effectively free. People who are complaining about token costs aren't trying. | ||

It didn't write a driver. It used a linux driver. You don't need an LLM. | ||

> my Brother dcp-t230 also doesn't have macos drivers and it's a usb only printer. Same thing here brother: DCP-L2510D (laser printer + scanner). Wife is on MacOS and cannot print/scan from there, so I'm the scanman. | ||

I don't see anywhere in the post or the repo how much it cost him to do this in tokens. | ||
