The ONE printer that I have, and arch doesn't have a driver for it, WHY?!?

[-] primrosepathspeedrun@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

because printers are the most proprietary fedjacked snitchware that has ever existed.

open source DIY paper printers need to be a thing.

edit: this seems pretty popular, anybody interested in crowdfunding some mechanical engineering?
