    That’s a really good idea. Something like OpenWrt but for printers would be amazing.

    It’s funny, they have their own hardware now. Maybe starting with a open source printer firmware would eventually lead to open source printer hardware.

      See, I was thinking replacement boards on the grounds that printer manufacturers have a lot more financial incentive to make firmware flashing difficult than router manufacturers do.
