I had to buy a printer recently. I intentionally went through all the information i could to find out which manufacturers pull this trick and bought their competitor instead.

This shouldn't be allowed. I hate products in 2023.
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
Who would spend their free time writing printer drivers/software?
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
I have a 12 year old laser printer that I got for $3 from a garage sale and I'm riding this baby into the ground. Every year or two I get some generic toner for about $15.

Cause he's getting fucked by a massive corporation
is there a printer that ISN'T a scam???
Just buy from Brother. They're not over priced, reliable, and don't pull with nickel and dime shit.
I've had my laser printer for 16+ years without issue. And everyone I suggested get a Brother as well have all been happy.
I updated my Brother printer just for it to decide to stop detecting my off-brand ink. They're not free from bs.
