I wish it was more common for printers to have or be supported by open source firmware. Maybe then I might start to trust them enough to buy one.
Funnily enough, not being able to modify a printer's firmware is what turned Richard Stallman into the free software advocate.
(Well, it was more the drop that made an already very full glass overflow, but still, “the printer story” has de facto come to be known as the point where free software started.)
