Show HN: Canon PIXMA G3010 macOS driver, reverse-engineered with Claude Canon doesn't provide a working macOS driver for the PIXMA G3010. I was stuck using Canon's iPhone app for all printing and scanning. I pointed Claude Code at a packet capture from the iPhone app and it reverse-engineered Canon's proprietary CHMP protocol, wrote a pure Rust eSCL-to-CHMP bridge daemon, and built a .pkg installer. My role was the physical parts: capturing packets, testing on the printer, confirming Image Capture worked. The protocol docs in docs/ are probably the first public documentation of Canon's CHMP protocol. https://ift.tt/xwOpiDG April 1, 2026 at 11:58PM
