Is the driver a proprietary binary or a definition for CUPS? The CUPS definitons are mostly platform-independent. And there may be driver/definiton in CUPS already. And from my experiences with Star thermal printers, most of them work as a plain ASCII printers with some special escape sequences for selecting a font, codepage and such, all documented in downloadable PDF.
