+I'm not sure if that will work. CUPS doesn't have a driver for the
+device and it's not really a printer.
+It just uses the USB printer class. It's used to cut shapes into or
+out of paper. This includes
+moving the blade up and down. I looked at the program and I thinks
+its sending G-code, which is
+used for CNC work.

+Thank you,
