    I’m wondering if there’s a open source firmware for printers like openwrt for routers

    Edit: typo

      Who would spend their free time writing printer drivers/software?

      It’d make more sense to work on software for a paperless world

      Just buy from Brother. They’re not over priced, reliable, and don’t pull with nickel and dime shit.

      I’ve had my laser printer for 16+ years without issue. And everyone I suggested get a Brother as well have all been happy.

        I updated my Brother printer just for it to decide to stop detecting my off-brand ink. They’re not free from bs.
