I would be very happy to have a libre SW/HW BW printer that uses the technology of 1996 and must, then be based only on expired patents. Both '96 laser and inkjet would be OK for my limited use. For example, the OKIPAGE 4w costed $300 at the time and was a compact, fast 600 dpi BW printer. http://my.okidata.com/MarkInfo.nsf/DocID/C9A90C0CF5943EBB8525636C0050C0D6 http://my.okidata.com/MarkInfo.nsf/DocID/C9A90C0CF5943EBB852... I think that laser technology of the 90s was simple enough that it could be reimplemented these days without too many problems. And I will be happy to pay €300 for a provably open laser printer that does do tricks like simulating empty toners or printing tracing dots https://www.eff.org/pages/list-printers-which-do-or-do-not-display-tracking-dots https://www.eff.org/pages/list-printers-which-do-or-do-not-d...
