I tried to get Copilot to port the Linux drivers for my HP CP1025 to macOS, but it failed. Even modern Linux can’t print to it any more, I had to put an older distribution on a RasPi and now I’m printing at reduced quality. It was crazy how the LLM held on to outdated information. It suggested so many things that might have worked on an older macOS but very obviously wouldn’t nowadays. It also tried to port from Linux for a while until it eventually discovered that cups on Linux didn’t support that printer either.

Doesn't HPLIP handle it?

CP1025 is supported in foo2zjs. You need to manually download a color profile data (getweb script) though. Make sure there's /usr/share/foo2zjs/icm/hp-cp1025-rgb-392-bpp1.icm file. If you tried to use foo2zjs in Fedora / Redhat or similar distro, they now require additional configuration with obscure error message: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/FoomaticRipRejectsUnknownValues https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/FoomaticRipRejectsUnk...
