WASM is not a language though, the equivalent here would be a JVM, but that enforces all sorts of Java specific constraints that you do not want in a driver.

The short answer to your question is: No.

Can you elaborate on your answer? Linux printer drivers seem to be entirely in userspace, so why do Windows drivers cause so much grief?
