Add AirPrint / AirScan support to your old printer, using just a cheap ESP32-S3

About the project

Firmware for ESP32-S3 that plugs into an old printer's USB port and makes it wireless: printing via AirPrint/Mopria and scanning from a browser or macOS.

Useful for
  • Connect an old Canon PIXMA to Wi-Fi and print from an iPhone without drivers
  • Scan documents from the printer directly in a phone browser
  • Combine several scanned pages into one PDF via the built-in web app

4.8 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 27, 2026, 11:09 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

050100October 26, 2026October 27, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-27 (UTC), 09:12–10:52: 102 → 118 stars (+16). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +50 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 1 day old and already has 118 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • About 8 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
