LinuxCNC (or anything else for that matter) won't talk to the CriCut, you'd
have to add your drivers and bypass all the electronics. Most of these
things use some form of HPGL, or mangled a bit to provide security
(presumably that's how it was reverse engineered).

not necessarily true some printers run a simpl l293, 278 or 298 that will
directly communicate with lcnc, i know ive built them, however if your
machine is operated via microprocessor without the source code it will not
work as you say. This is why i said the pinout was necessary as if it has
enable input , or bus line it probably will not work, if it has simple step
and direction inputs as per the ic mebtioned above I could make it work. I
say try it the only thing he has to lose is some time.
