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,

Jeff
