Is there an open source method to upgrade the firmware? The HP website lists two methods: first using their “eprint” web service where you have to accept some BS terms of service (no thanks) or opaque binary blobs for Windows or Mac.

Random fact: Richard Stallman may have been spurred to start the GNU Project due to the fact that he could not easily modify the source code of a printer.

  Which makes it ironic that there are still no open source printers. There are even open source 3D printers, but putting ink on paper is still annoyingly out of reach.

    Just 3D print movable type and call it a day.

      I did once consider just 3D printing a single very thin layer :-) More practically, a 3D printer is probably only a half step removed from a decent plotter if you just replace the head with a pen or something.
