OK, so we've got a pretty robust #OSHW ecosystem around producing #3D printers...
And there's lots of #grbl pen plotters and such...
But is there anybody working on open source paper printers? I guess I'm not terribly concerned about what technology a given example implements (i.e. direct impact, laser/toner, inkjet, thermal, whatever) but I'm mostly curious whether the space for this is just so saturated for so long with commodity printers that nobody's exploring this. I'm not even certain what problem might be solved by such a thing.
I guess on some level, the printed page is likely to *always* be the most-robust medium for #archives of knowledge and information, and also one of the most accessible, generally. Being able to produce printed pages from digital sources is so important that I guess I'm skeeved out that this seems to be mostly limited to appliances produced without the same benefits we see in OSHW.
