I'm wondering if there's a open source firmware for printers like openwrt for routers
Edit: typo
Who would spend their free time writing printer drivers/software?
It'd make more sense to work on software for a paperless world
People who can write printer drivers get pissed off at printer companies, too, and needing/wanting to print things isn't going away anytime soon.
eh, judging by the size of this list you couldn't be more wrong
also, I'd argue most free software today isn't written by hobbyists on their free time, but by corporations instead
