@pyrate Sure a totally free hardware design printer would be a nice to have, but that'll be very hard to pull off and actually manufacture, as the result would infringe a bunch of patents for one (the government does it again).

The closest line of printers to freedom seem to be Kyocera ones - as those run GNU/BusyBox/Linux on an ARM SoC, which is attached to printing hardware.

I see that there is some GPLv2 enforcement taking place as to the source code of the software on those printers, but I'm not sure how that'll go - ideally the printing drivers have been implemented as Linux modules, or otherwise are derivative works of GPL'd software, so printing doesn't need to be reverse engineered.
