The OpenPrinter project (see the CrowdSupply project's page) aims to create an open source repairable printer. It has some interesting features.

I was starting to believe the project was dead but they gave some news on their progress today : https://www.crowdsupply.com/open-tools/open-printer/updates/progress-update-and-details-about-our-nomination-for-a-french-design-award.

I post it here since the project is lead by french people and would be an alternative to many printer manufacturer.

You should probably skip HP regardless of what's happening in the US.

  • HP Adds 15 Minutes to All Customer Service Phone Calls
  • Ink Required to Scan and Fax
  • Account Required to Scan
  • Firmware Updates Stop HP Printers from Working (Errors 79 and 49)
  • HP Locks Printers if There Is a Failed Subscription Payment

HP Consumer Rights Wiki

Canon is apparently following HP's lead on some of these things as well
