There's more "news" about this than actual information. I'm skeptical until I see some development
If I had a dime for every time this pops up on Lemmy...
I will believe in the efficacy of this when it actually becomes available.
Looks like something worth keeping an eye on at least. A lot will depend on price I think.
This is one of the first appliances I tought about when I discovered open hardware. Considering it was a proprietary printer that first roused Richard Stallman's anger, and considering printers have had some of the most unfair and obnoxious defective designs, it seemed only fitting to liberate those machines first. Only a few weeks ago did I have a friend telling me their printer had refused to work, until pers figured out pers's subscription had expired. There was nothing I could do apart from warning them once more about DRM and proprietary software and hardware. It is good news indeed to see someone working on this.
Well, it isn't open hardware. It's license isn't OSH compliant.
Great! Just about 30 years late, though
Does it tear the sheets off on its own? Never thought of a reel of paper in an office printer before, I like it
Except the ink cartridges
And the everything else. Since it isn't under a open source license.
"About time."
- Richard M. Stallman, probably.
No? This isn't a open source printer, its license isn't at least OSI compliant and also not FSF compatible.
