I wonder how hard it is to make a fake USB printer.
Like, a printer that takes any printout and goes "yep, that printed just fine" but nothing ever comes out anywhere

@foone Look at the code from the retro printer project, It does similar but for parallel printers as input and outputs to USB/Network printers.

Might be some bits you could borrow
