‘Our long-term objective is to make printing a subscription’ says HP CEO gunning for 2024’s Worst Person of the Year award | Not satisfied with merely bricking printers, HP now wants to own them al…::It was only the other day we reported how HP has been slapped with a lawsuit in response to measures that disable its printers when fitted with a third-party ink cartridge. Now the company’s CEO,
Does an “open-source printer” exist?
As far as I know, there aren’t even any Chinese companies trying to enter into this market. Xiaomi has a few high-priced inkjet printers and that’s it.
It would be so easy for all of us to come together and “disrupt the market”, but we don’t. If we collectively get together, like a crowd-funded FOSS alternative, and build this shit ourselves and sell it, that would wreak havoc with the game these leeches play, but we don’t.
WHY don’t we.
Okay, start the project.
I don’t wanna.
Can you do it?
I think we found the answer to your question.
Ive been thinking about this recently. We have essentially done that for 3D printers from the start. We should absolutely do this for 2D printers
good luck with that!
